Cloning11

dont think Bill Gates is ready for a clone right now, so were probably not going to have one right away. Theres already a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Would you want to stand out that much? Not only is money a big factor in cloning, theres only ten laboratories in the world that have the technology to clone humans according to Cornell University biologist Bruce Currie (Stoller). Instead of trying to spend our money on research for bringing back loved ones of diseases such as cancer, shouldnt we be spending it on the cure for cancer to help prevent the death in the first place? The world already has a booming population of 6,157,400,560 and a birthrate of 1 every 8 seconds and a death rate of 1 every 14 seconds. Would we want to add to all of these numbers? If we did actually try cloning humans, we wouldnt want to add to the birth rate and the death rate in just one birth would we?I do support cloning used for medicinal purposed only. People are always waiting on a new liver or heart, sometimes until its too late to help. This would never be a problem if scientists cloned body parts for medical distribution. Pigs have almost the same organs as humans, so we could clone them, never having to clone even a part of a human (Stonebarge). Scientists are also interested in cloning or adding genes to cows to make them produce more milk and to sheep for better wool. Also, the idea of transgenic lambs and calves would be to add genes from a different species. For example, scientists have already trued adding two extra human genes to the sheep genes. Proven to work, they could add human genes such as insulin to cow genes and when that clone grows up to produce milk, it would also be creating insulin. We could then separate the insulin from the milk and have the cure to diabetes. Also, according to biologist Richard Seed, transgenic sheep have been altered to produce alpha-1-antitrypism, a drug that is used to treat cystic...
