Pros And Cons Of Cloning Extinct Animals

Improved Essays
The World Ends Visualize scaly, spine chilling, savage creatures rising from the dead in a lab. Technology has come so far that we can finally ask the question: Should we clone extinct animals? I think we should not clone extinct animal.I can see a hole in our food chain, new disease, nor playing God shouldn 't be an option. Imagine food be scarce for survival, and new kinds of epidemics across the land that can kill thousands in a second. Malicious people creating new species from the dead growing in number..
The Food chain who eats and who gets eaten. Cloning extinct animals comes with a series of problems commonly our food chain systems. The food chain has been design to know what specialise eat meats , plants, or both. If possible to clone

Human should not clone extinct animal for what i think is the most important aspect. New animals that haven 't been around for years can introduce new diseases. The disease can be harmfull to humans being transmitted. Many sources and articles from national geographic has stated one of the potential harms of cloning extinct animal. Humans aren 't the only one that are affected animals are also a victim. Imagine pigs and cows or worst plants be affected. Disease can wipe out a whole spices, food decreasing rapidly for humans and animals. Let say we did bring back this clone extinct animal how would this affect our environment? We already know we can produce and lane or food enough for this creatures but they can also overpopulate the environments or destroy habitat faster than human cans or the earth can repairs on it …show more content…
But cloning extinct animals is a no man lane. Human will play god by creating this creature. Many articles in fact has stated that extinct animal would be exploited to human purposes such as zoo or there body parts to be sold. Not only are human going to exploit them but genetical modified their appearance or mix two kind of different species making news ones. Not only is this wrong but creating new creature from scratch can cause some complication and more stronger and resistance creature to viruses and weapons. Human one day will make a creature so strong that it could wipe out a whole city. But what about morals ? The dead should stay dead once dead it impossible to bring someone back to life let alone cloning in with=ch none of the personality of the previous life is the same. Lastly funding would cost a tremendous amount of money. Funding would include research ,food, habits, labs, scientist.

The article (options for irving animals by steward bard) claimspro of have cloning extinct animal such as bringing back the woolly mammoths shall bring some good but he fails to release all the conquense they could bring such as eating away landscape if they were to be cloned and in fact they don 't have the space or environment they did once

    Cloning of animals is another possible solution to prevent or reverse endangerment of animal species in the Brazilian Amazon rain forest. According to author George Dvorsky, “Brazilian scientists have announced that they are moving ahead with plans to clone a number of endangered species, a list of animals that includes the jaguar, maned wolf, and black lion.” (Dvorsky) Having already collected the genomes of many species, the scientists state that they will clone an animal in extreme cases of extinction. (Dvorsky) Conservation Destruction has been widespread through the rainforests of Brazil, but governments have been increasingly willing to address environmental issues in pursuit of protecting the ecosystems.…

    Dollie the sheep was the first mammal to be cloned by an adult cell by using the process of nuclear transfer. This process started by a cell is placed in a de-nucleated egg, the two cells fuse and then develop into an embryo. Dollie was cloned at the Roslin Institute in 1997. The idea was developed from part of a research in producing the milk from farm animals.…

    In the debate article, it says, “ you certainly don’t want a dog like Scruff, you want Scruff.” With cloning you can have your dog back. It also states, “ The same lab is currently working on cloning endangered and extinct animals.” This means we might be able to have dinosaurs and possibly save endangered animals. In other words, cloning can be a terrible thing.…

    De-extinction (bringing extinct species back from the dead) has been making a wave of enthusiasm, fueled through Steward Brand’s TED speak and a number of distinguished books and articles. The primary idea of de-extinction is to use bits of genetic fabric salvaged from an extinct species (museum specimens, frozen mammoths) in modern day biotechnology to create living animals in the lab, and use these lab-created specimens to re-establish populations of the extinct species in the wild. Actually, as Beth Shapiro described in her book How To Clone a Mammoth, the final product isn’t actually the extinct species, but an animal with some of the genes of the extinct species and some of the genes of a dwelling relative, which with a bit of luck looks and acts something like the extinct species.…

    Somewhere within a lab, Ian Wilmut lead a team of scientists to create the world’s first animal from a somatic cell. And from that revolutionary discovery, scientists use this way to artificially produce living creatures that even today are being used. Dolly the sheep died many years ago and many have wondered about the ethics of cloning an animal, whether or not Dolly’s “sister clones” were actually genetic matches and whether cloning is a bad way of producing a living creature and shouldn’t be further researched. Cloning within animals is still harmful and unethical towards the animal. Through many tests, scientists have discovered distinctive clues to help them figure out the mystery of a clone’s shortened life.…

    Cloning can be used to protect species whose numbers are threatened by extinction or critically endangered. The extinct creatures are more closely related to Asian elephants than to African elephants, the scientists established, that the three species departed within a short period of time. Scientist reconstructed bone fragments to create the mitochondrial genome of the mammoth (6). The mitochondrial DNA was passed from mother to offspring allowing the lineage of the species to be traced.…

    Scientists believe that it is a good idea to bring back extinct animals like dinosaurs. This would not be a good idea because of many reasons. One reason that it would be a bad idea to bring back extinct animals is the fact that they would not be able to adapt to human life as it is now. They would be way to tall, and they would end up eating the human resources like crops and destroy trees and the wildlife. Another reason why scientists should not try to bring back extinct animals is because there is absolutely no reason to have them.…

    Cloning describes the processes used to create an exact genetic replica of another cell, tissue or organism (nih). On July 30, 2003 a team of Spanish and French scientists were the first people to come close to accomplishing de-extinction. They had managed to use a form of cloning to bring back the extinct Pyrenean Ibex only for it to die minutes later. The cells of the last Pyrenean Ibex that ever lived were preserved in labs located in Zaragoza and Madrid. Scientists then injected nuclei from the preserved cells into goat eggs that were emptied of their own DNA, and then implanted them into surrogate mothers.…

    Ever since cloning was made possible it has been easier for scientist to study on different types of deceases because they used cloned animals as test subjects. Researchers believe that cloning stem cells is useful because there is no need to transfer them from another person, “In 2013, scientists at Oregon Health and Science University were the first to use cloning techniques to successfully create human embryonic stem cells.” (Cloning to make) Now that animal cloning is possible, people believe that it could be possible to bring back extinct animals by using well preserved DNA, “In 2009, scientists had their first near-success resurrecting an extinct animal.” (Reviving) Cloning is useful in multiple ways and it has changed the way scientists work and research, it has allowed access to new methods of research and has…

    Have you ever thought about bringing back something that was once dead, well now you can researchers are now able to revive a once dead wooly mammoth and this has been very controversial in the public. Some of the public was for bringing back dead animals and some were not i feel as if we should bring them back. Bringing back more animals could possibly help stabilize ecosystems around the world also helping us grow as a civilization , Another pro of this type of research is that will will be break thru research for us humans to be able to bring a dead animal to life. However there is a downfall is this because once we have these animals back we're going to have dangerous animals around us that could possibly cause some terror. Even…

    This would not be good because these researchers will be worrying more about bringing back already extinct animals, rather than worrying about keeping alive humans and animals already living today. De-extinction remains unnecessary. Although it possibly will provide a few benefits and seeing a real live wooly mammoth or…

    Resurrecting extinct animals seems like playing God, producing animals once created by God. However, others see this as simply using scientific facts in an advancement in science to save endangered species. Since human, species have only been added to the endangered species list, interspecies cloning can preserve today’s species from becoming extinct, creating a scientific breakthrough in animal conservation.…
