Say that when performing experiments on lab rats the results are all random and a proper result cannot be found. Well, there is a way to get those precise results in the form of perfect copies of animals formed in animal cloning. Since the cloned animals are perfect copies of each other on a cellular level, the experiments performed should get more exact results. This is just one of the many uses for animal cloning. People have always questioned the ethics of the subject though when Dolly was first made. Animal cloning can provide us with clear cut conclusions, antibodies to diseases, actual copy cats, and can be used to solve the endangered species problem.
Animal cloning might have some people looking down upon it in the beginning when Dolly the sheep died at five-years-old. Those views however are put away by the many uses of animal cloning in various fields and the improvement of the subject. Most of the uses for animal cloning can be categorized into two different subjects. The first: experimentation, or the way that we can use cloning to find conclusions and remove several uncontrolled variables. Medication, the second division, works to use animal cloning to cure an overabundance of diseases and grow transplantable organs for patients. Although animal cloning is frowned upon by a good portion of the populace, people never really cared about the topic until Dolly the cloned sheep was made by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Roslin Institute. The true potential of cloning began with dolly the sheep. “Animal cloning research, now a rapidly expanding reality in which Dolly the sheep - born seven years ago this week - has been joined by a menagerie of cloned pigs, cows, mules and other animals.”Fiester, Autumn tells us about the very beginning of cloning experiments. Dolly the sheep is the first successful clone of the Animal kingdom. She proved that Cloning is possible and we have an untapped well of information waiting for us. But what exactly can we use cloning for? Well, Metzel Rozie gives an excellent use for experimentation involving clones. “Cloning will allow scientists to alter rat genes with precision. For instance, they will be able to destroy genes to better understand their functions or replace rat genes with human ones to create better models for studying human ailments.” With this we can figure out the source of certain ailments in the human body and find a way to prevent them from setting in before they come along, or better yet, remove the problem entirely. Animal cloning is full of potential to further not only our race, but other races as well. Animal cloning has many uses in the field of medication. Tina Hesman describes therapeutic cloning. “It could produce life-saving organs for patients with no other hope.” That sounds like an excellent reason to continue the research into the subject. Would you ban cloning if it could save …show more content…
One of the big uses animal cloning can be used for in the future is the Chimera. Jones, David Albert Explains Chimeras like this. “In the science of genetics and within the context of biomedical research, chimera refers to particular kind of admixed organism. A chimera is an organism (including an embryo or fetus) that consists of cells from more than one organism.” The Chimera has the potential to improve the human race on a genetic level and possibly remove most if not all our physical flaws and some of our mental ones. Feats that are thought impossible will now be possible. But what else does science fiction tell us cloning can bring us? Futurism gives a small taste of what we have done and can do on a worldwide scale. “At the behest of the Aragon Regional Government, scientists have brought a Pyrenean ibex - an extinct species - back to life.” this is not the only thing Futurism talks about. It mentions solutions for world hunger in cloned meat, no more degenerative diseases, and even increasing the human lifespan. Luckily it points out that this is not the ladder to godhood as bringing back things like dinosaurs and immortality are still far out of our reach. You could say though that cloning will likely have an Era based around it for the history
