I'm not sure what kind of "problematic" you mean, so I'll address both. First of all, you have to have a nearly perfect DNA sample of a species/animal, and you have to have a proper surrogate and egg cell, and finding these can be very difficult, because DNA is fragile and ages/degrades over time. Second of all, does anyone have any idea what would happen is we cloned something like the tyrannosaurus rex or sea scorpion?

These are creatures that haven't been a part of our ecosystem for millions or billions of years. The world is completely different, and having large, dangerous, out-of-place creatures in today's ecosystems could cause catastrophe among current species and food chains. Think about Darwinism. Survival of the fittest.

Yeah, some animals are extinct because of humans, and the changes we've made to the topography and everything about the planet, but there are species that died because they can't make it on Earth. They're weak, and that's why they died out. Repopulating the planet with animals that it hasn't seen for as many years as it hasn't, could result in horrendous changes in the ecosystems and species of the Earth.

1) Incomplete DNA

2) No species cytoplasm to be used.

3) How will you grow the fetus.

What are some potential dangers of cloning extinct mammals such as the mammoth?

The cloning of life remains a deeply controversial and vexing issue due to the ethical implications the technology creates. In reference to literally resurrecting extinct species this creates the introduction of new and alien organisms into a biosphere. Other dangers include the humane treatment as cloning cannot assure the organism may suffer through its creation or if their offspring will be viable and healthy.


What is the historical perspective of cloning?

Cloning has been a topic of scientific interest for decades, with the first successful cloning of a mammal (Dolly the sheep) in 1996. Since then, cloning technology has advanced, leading to the cloning of other animals and ongoing ethical debates surrounding the practice. Cloning has potential benefits for research and medicine but also raises concerns about ethical implications and the impact on biodiversity.


Has cloning been done before?

126 animals no people 126 animals no people


How successful is animal cloning?

Animal cloning has had some successes in terms of creating genetically identical animals for research purposes, conservation efforts, and livestock production. However, it still faces challenges such as low success rates, health issues in the cloned animals, and ethical concerns. Overall, animal cloning is not widely used due to these limitations.


Are cloned animals gone wrong real?

Yes, there have been documented cases of health issues in cloned animals, such as higher rates of birth defects, genetic abnormalities, and shortened lifespan compared to non-cloned animals. These issues can arise due to errors in the cloning process and genetic abnormalities that occur during the cloning procedure.

Can extinct animals be replaced?

yes by cloning


Is animal cloning unnatural?

YES! Cloning of animals is a sientific man made process. In my opinion they should not mess with nature and let animals reproduce themselves. ANS2: No! There are a number of animals that reproduce by cloning. Almost all bacteria, most Protists and even animals as complex as Coelenterates reproduce by cloning...naturally. ANS3: Animal cloning is unnatural if you're talking about the manmade kind, and I agree with the ANS1, why are we wasting time , effort and $$$ on cloning things that aren't event endangered? We should probably be spending that money on other things If we really don't want certain species to go extinct


How has cloning impacted us?

unfortunately, cloning hasn't really impacted us, yet, but it well some ay in the future. It can reverse the aging processs, bring back extinct animals and many more, but cloning could also make the world overpoppulated and global warming would be far out of our reach because no one would be dying


Can cloning be used to stop animals going extinct?

It is possible, but the technology is still being improved, and securing specimens for some species would be difficult.


Cloning endangered species is a good idea?

Cloning does Not work, except for plants. If a species is Extinct, it is gone forever. The only way cloning could bring back an extinct species such as the Dinosaurs, according to the PBS Science Show: Nova, hosted by Jeff Goldblum, (from Jurassic Park), is If we were to spend Billions of dollars to make it happen. It is Possible to bring an extinct species back to life by cloning, but, no one is going to spend Billions of dollars to bring an extinct species of life back from the dead. It is Possible, but, it is Not Practical, and It is not Affordable, so it is Never going to happen.


When do you think cloning is beneficial?

Cloning is beneficial when an animal species or other organism species is becoming extinct. By cloning them, there will be more of them now, and enough of them to reproduce and naturally restore the population.

Is cloning humans diffrent procedurally from cloning animals?

The basic procedural steps involved in cloning humans and animals are similar, but there are key ethical and legal considerations that make human cloning a more complex process. In animals, cloning is usually done for agricultural or research purposes, while human cloning raises serious ethical concerns related to individual rights and dignity. Additionally, there are legal restrictions in many countries that prohibit human cloning.
