Governments will and has spent millions of dollars to clone extinct animal by trying to clone non-extinct animal. If they continue to fund this project, the governments will be totally unsatisfied with the result. the essay, “De-Extinction Is Immoral, and Bad Science All Around”, will prove to be the correct way to think about cloning extinct animals. There are many things wrong with cloning animals from the past. For example, the author of this essay claims that, "De-extinction is immoral, unethical

there are many ways that cloning can help to improve lives, there are still some people who worry that it could do the opposite. This sparks a debate over the moral and legal issues of cloning, and how it could deprive humans of their lives in certain ways of cloning such as reproductive cloning. They worry that embryos and fetus’ will be grown for their stem cells, which is essential for cloning. "Several countries have enacted legislation to ban human cloning.”(Cloning) as well as “several states

Response In the article “Human Cloning Debate: Why Do It? Who’d Be Hurt? Should It Be Legal?” by Peter Kendall from the Chicago Tribute, the author showed both the pros and cons of cloning.

“Therapeutic Cloning, and stem cell Research” by Gena Smith is about how we can extract stem cells from replicated human embryos and use them for medical and therapeutic purposes. The stems cells are perfect because they are what the article calls “master cells” which with the help of science, can be manipulated to become anything from brain cells to kidney cells. The article also revolves around the amount of controversy over the issue of cloning. The article mostly reviews the medical side of cloning rather

For my final project, I wish to attempt to explore the philosophical controversies that represented by “new and emergent science”. The field of new and emergent science includes many other sub topics such as human cloning, animal cloning, nanomachines, human genome mapping, and DNA altering. I believe that a person could write many books while only scratching the surface of the philosophical debates that surround these intense issues. I believe that there are specific parts of these new sciences
