Cloning

Paper Summary:

This paper presents an argument in favor of cloning. The paper discusses the cloning of cells, tissues, organs or an individual, which is performed deliberately by human effort. The paper suggests that it is this type of cloning that holds the hopes of the medical future and that can positively affect a variety of other areas, despite the risks critics fear.

From the Paper:

"Cloning can also be used for applications other than those that directly affect humans. Endangered species are another category that can benefit from cloning technology, and further supports the argument that this is valuable technology. In 2004, male and female clones of African wildcats were successfully mated to produce eight kittens, the first time wild species clones had been bred. This project was sponsored by the Audubon Nature Institute in New Orleans ("Clones Cloning Around") and is only the first step in a technology that could save some of the world's most endangered species. Hundreds of endangered species could be saved by this technology, perhaps brought to a point where they could be reintroduced into the wild."
