Cloning

             Cloning. It's the ability to create an exact genetic duplicate of another living thing. This form of science puts humans on an almost god like level. We have the ability to create what we want; however we want it. We have the ability to resurrect famous people from the past. We have the ability to clone various organs and tissues for use in transplants. We have the ability to resurrect dinosaurs, an animal that nature wanted to become extinct. We have the ability to clone humans. These last two examples are where I draw the line for cloning. Humans have no right to meddle with the natural order of things. The resurrection of extinct animals, within reason, and the cloning of humans is something that I totally disagree with.
             The cloning of extinct animals is ok with me only if it is done in a controlled environment with very strict security standards. Nature decided that these animals were no longer suited to live on the earth, so nature got rid of them. Nature adapted to the loss and maintains a strict homeostasis. Now that the technology of cloning is a very real thing, people will get the idea of resurrecting these animals. I feel that the most important thing to consider is that are these animals going to be harmful to nature if by some chance they escape. Nature has made a balance between all of the animals in it and introducing an extinct animal back into the community will have major consequences. It will upset the natural balance and will destroy nature. An animal that was extinct and was brought back into today's environment will have no natural predators. They will multiply and over run their environment. They will eat up the food of the other natural animals and will cause them to go extinct. If the animals are kept in a secure facility to study them, an idea from a recent movie, then I think it is a good idea.
             Human cloning is a bad idea. The idea of creating a person exactly like another...
