The Science of Cloning
...eding as well as in other sectors related to the dairy industry" (Bousquet and Holtman). Breeders would be able to clone their prize dairy cow or their bull stud and reep the benefits of a more profitable market. If farmers were able to clone only thier best cattle, it could mean only healthy products would be produced. The ethical reasoning of this situation would be that as people cloning would make us alot more healthier. More and more people die annually because of obesity. The production of health oriented meat would eliminate the avoidable deaths and create a healthy society. "...More than fifty-seven hundred people die each year because of the shortage of organs..." (Recer 1). The cloning of animals and human cells to create tissue is an ideal solution to eliminate organ limitations. In some cases when people are seriously sick there is a transplant that needs to be done. Some patients who are deemed high risk are not even considered for any sort of surgery or transplant. The people who can even afford costly treatment and who are lucky enough to be placed on a donor list still must be made to wait until an organ is found. During this archaic waiting period, the agonizing pain can sometimes prove fatal to the victim. It could be months or maybe even years until and organ is finally found, but who is to say that it is and exact match or that it would not be rejected by the body? After the barage of test and unbearable pain, the patient must take anti-rejection medication for the rest of their lives. If doctors and medical technicians are able to throw the procedure of cloning human and animal tissue into the equation, all of this "old-technique" would become a thing of the past. "British and U. S. scientists have devised a way to provide every child with its own "body repair kit" by using cloning techology as way of generating unlimited supplies of human tissue for transplant surgery" (Connor 1). If we as people are provided the means to protect and save ourselves with our own tissues, then why is society so hastly making decisions on whether it is ethical or not? In the broad horizons of our future the inevitable seems to be a hand. "The [research] team is working on combining those techniques with research on embryonic cells that develop into blood, bone, muscle and even brain cells. This would enable perfect tissue matches without the risk of rejection, which occurs with conventional transplants" (Connor 1). Another aspect of organ tissue cloning is that it can not only be done with humans, but with the aide from our friends in the animal kingdom. For decades the medical field has reserached porcine tissue for human us...
