ified before a presidential ethics commission in 1997 and predicted that it might be possible to use the cloning breakthrough to enable patients to grow their own bone marrow that would be a perfect match and ready when the patient needed it (Kolate 234). Another medical benefit of cloning could lead the way to creating genetically altered animal that act as living drug factories by producing valuable pharmaceutical substances in their milk (Small 3). Also, such genetically altered animals could be used as living organ factories because their organs would not be rejected by the human immune system (Small 3). In addition, medical scientist hope to use cloned, genetically engineered cows as donors for neutral cells that could be used to treat nerve-damaging diseases such as Parkinsons and diabetes (Small 3). At Genzyme Transgenics Corporatation, they are working on making a heard of genetically engineered cattle that will produce the human serum, albumin, a protein that is currently derived from pooled human plasma, and is given to people who have suffered blood loss (Small 4).Because of the overwhelming positive implications, society must embrace this the idea of cloning. The new technology of cloning should be used because it could resurrect extinct animals, give infertile couples new hope, and provide medical science with a new tool that could potentially save thousands of lives. With recent advances moving along at such speed, cloning will become an integral part of our society....
