Is cloning a good thing or a bad thing?

Answer 1

Cloning is a very controversial subject for many people. There is a variety of feelings, as it matters your situation. Cloning can help study the past if you get certain information/DNA, but it can be abused. Cloning a dog and spending $250,000 is obsessive, but if you love something it may be considered just paying to have something that keeps you going everyday. Cloning has more benefits in my opinion than disadvantages, so I am going to go with a good thing. Advantages: Animal cloning can end world hunger, can bring back extinct animals, and can allow pet owners to feel better. With more cloned animals, people in poverty cursed nations can have farming animals for more cheaper food. Also more animal poop would mean more fertilizer for crops. More crops is more food and less hunger people. Scientists have been able to find DNA in animals that have been extinct for hundreds of years and are close to figuring out how to create a complete nucleus of DNA to be fertilizer for and egg. Pet owners wouldn't have to worry anymore because if their pet dies they could get it cloned if they loved it enough. Disadvantages: Animal cloning is very expensive, time consuming, and can bring back extinct animals. To clone an animal right now costs most peoples salaries earned in a year. The cloning process takes a week at the absolute fastest. But that is only if all goes right. Most of the time the celldividing process fails so it can take as long as a year. Remember, those statistics are for one animal. Bringing back extinct animals can also be a bad thing. Extinct animals or dinosaurs may carry diseases that would be extremely dangerous to the human race. And if scientist could bring back a t-rex, i don't think people would want a gaint carnivore running through their backyard!

Answer 2

Cloning is so not a good idea because lets say if your dog dies instead of paying thousands of pounds or dollars you might as well adopt a new one cause there are millions of dogs in the world who have been abandoned. You should only clone rare stuff!
