Best Answer

The main environmental concern in regard to cloning is the pollution that the process of cloning would produce. Cloning is done in a laboratory; and the amount of electricity needed to fuse the DNA and the nucleus of the original ovum is extensive. There are no environmental issues related to cloning in regard to food chains, only those similar to the normal human food chain. Unfortunately, all previously reported cloned animals have had extreme health defects, and if humans were to be cloned at a high rate, there would be huge amounts of pressure on our health care systems and an increase in the amount of hospital waste.

Hope this helps.
