animal cloning


    There are many things about cloning that most people don’t know.

Have scientist been able to clone animals? Scientist all over have been trying to figure out what animals can be cloned. Scientist have cloned frogs, dogs, cats, rats, cows and many more. They want to try to clone a dinosaur but they think the embryo would be too big and kill whatever was nurturing it. My opinion is just go with smaller animals and work your way up but they want to start with the big things. But I think they should just start small.

What are we really trying to do with cloning? “David Wildt one of the scientist says we shouldn’t jump to conclusion on cloning” (Choi).  I think he is right because we think we can do all these things. I think we should work on house pets because some of them are small and it we be eassir to nurture them and wouldn’t hurt the animals. “David Wildt says cloning is one of the hardest things to do and its killed so many animals” (Choi).

Animals suffer every year from cloning i think we should start with out small that why so many animals are dieing. We’ve started with such big animals that the embryo expands and kills the animal.David discovered this while he was attempting a wooly mamith with a rino. The rino ended up dieing 3 days later. If we keep killing animals what animals are we going to test on. We need to start with smaller things and not kill as many things.
Everyone says that the hardest thing about cloning is getting the embryo into the animal. The easiest thing is to get the embryo from a different animal. I think the sadest thing of cloning is most of the babies don’t make it. They either die while in the mother or when the mother dies.

What do we think about cloning now, do we like it or do we not. I think its sad how all these animals die while in the parent. Its terible how hard life is for a cloned aniaml. There are many problems with cloned animals they have many birth defects. It hurts the animal more then anything.
