y untested and no one has any idea of the long-term effects of this new kind of organs. Scientists also hope to use the cloning of good cells to help bad cells in the body to adapt. For instance, 60 year-old Myrna Birch left for Cambridge, England on January 25, 1999 to treat her Behests Syndrome using the new science of genetic altering. However, there was an experiment done with mice that came from a string of inheritable bad blood. With good human blood DNA, they were fixed of their blood, but the new gene destroyed another gene in the transgenic mice responsible for the positioning of organs, causing upside-down organs in the insides and short life. Scientists also argue that cloning has happened for a long time with plants and unicellular creatures, but are countered with the fact that artificial means have only been used extensively recently. In March, 2001, the famous test-tube baby of Clonaid died at 10 months, but provided positive information. A desperate couple with a lost child helped push the company to attempt a clone of their baby, with 50 volunteers to be the surrogate mother and about $677,000 Cdn from the couple. Now with these new artificial means come new ambitions for the future of cloning.Scientists say that if they ever become successful enough, cloning of an endangered, or even extinct, species can be possible. An example is the mammoth that was found in Antarctic. It could be possible to use the DNA from the mammoth and mix it with the DNA of elephants, and over generations, finally be able to recreate this creature. However, many people have fears that unsuccessful attempts could result in the loss of the females of a species, thus losing any chance of natural reproduction. Also, if this ever were successful, the species would all be immune to same sicknesses, but vulnerable to the same disease, whereas genetic diversity would allow at least some to survive.There are many fears regarding cloning, bu...
