Cloning
...lly get the operation, and some, never even get that chance. Shortage and waiting lists will no longer be an issue if cloning is used to clone a certain organ that can be kept in constant supply. With this new supply of organs, researchers would have new specimens to further study and learn about. This could possibly lead to new cures and treatments of diseases that are incurable at this time. Cloning also will allow the spread of animals facing extinction and thus maintains ecological balance. Animals such as tigers, koalas, and others endangered species could be cloned so that they would no longer be in danger. This would prove to be an advantage to animals that are being hunted after, but also those who die of illness or disease. With the new research and information by cloning, animals that are weaker can be enhanced so that they are less susceptible to epigenetic disease. Also, cloning would allow animals that have an unequal survival rate to be more fit to survive, which would bring about ecological balance, not allowing either side of a food chain to become too overly dominant. By cloning, the number of animals necessary for medical studies will be reduced. The cloning of plants has many applications, not only to agriculture but to medicine as well. Herbicide resistant crops, earlier/delayed fruit ripening, longer lasting fruit and higher yields of crops can be and have been achieved through cloning. Areas which have a low number of food supply could highly benefit from this, and it lower the number of areas that struggle with finding food. For a family that is facing trouble with having a child, cloning would prove to be a fit option. It would enable a sterile woman to have a child coming from her own body, using any cell from her organism. Couples who are infertile or have genetic disorders could produce offspring using cloning, and their child would be cloned so that they wo...
