Studies show only five percent of cloning efforts result in a successful birth and even fewer clones go on to live long, fulfilling lives. Cloning is a dangerous, unnecessary process that should not be allowed in the United States. Cloning has a low success rate, it takes away diversity in the world and it will dehumanize society. In the future, selling meat coming from cloned animals and, human and animal cloning should be banned in the United States of America.
March 4, 1997, President Clinton ordered that no federal funds would be used to pay for Human Cloning research. President Clinton stated in his executive order, “Each human life is unique, born of a miracle that reaches beyond laboratory science” Clinton’s successor, George W. Bush …show more content…
Part of that is because it is so dangerous. Cloned animals are born with birth defects which forces an animal to suffer. Cloning can also affect the mother carrying the baby due to painful labor. According to the article, “This House Would Ban Human Cloning.”, “The nuclear transfer technique that produced Dolly required 277 embryos, from which only one healthy and viable sheep was produced.” A cloned baby might be born with severe birth defects and cloned animals that grow to adulthood may have unexpected defects as well. Another issue is that many cloned embryos do not develop they usually die shortly after birth. According to the article “This House Would Ban Human Cloning.”, “The success rate ranges from 0.1 percent to 3 percent, which means that for every 1000 tries, only one to 30 clones are made.” So if cloning does not work on animals, it would be a waste of time to try and do it on humans as …show more content…
The United States is all about diversity so, to make people look exactly like each other human cloning is going to eventually take away the diversity in the world. People will care less if a loved one passes because they have a clone to replace them which eventually is the same person. One of the reasons that people want to clone animals is to have more food products. The FDA has approved the sale of food products made from cloned animals. However, 67% of Americans disapprove of cloning animals for food. The concerns for cloning animals for consumer benefit could also be about money, the cost to make a clone is easily over ten- thousand dollars. The cost would not be worth it when there are perfectly healthy animals producing our food and drinks. And the dairy industry has said that there is no consumer benefit in
