Cloning

             Cloning, as of recent years, has become a very controversial issue. Society is
             firmly divided on the uses and ethics of cloning. Cloning can rang from producing copies
             of plants and animals to clones of humans and human organs. But cloning can have
             several positive effects for the well being of society.
             Cloning plants can have positive effects fo humans. Scientist can clone plants and
             alter them to produce healthier food. For example, oranges which contain an abundance
             of Vitamin C, can be altered to include Vitamin D and Calcium, which is found amply in
             milk. Cloning can also improve the status of hunger-stricken Third World nations. Fruits
             and vegetables can be cloned to produce large amounts of food without have to worry
             about growing season, climate, or any other environmental factor. They can also be alterd
             to be able to be grown in different environments or to produce more food and for a longer
             Cloning animals can have several ramifications. Foremost, is the benfit of humans.
             This can be done in two ways. First, cloning animals can help us understand the way our
             cellss divide, multiply and operate. We can also learn how to fix ceratin disorders, thus
             leading to tests and research in similar human disorders. For example, sheep have a
             disease of the brain, called Scrapie, that causes tremors, loss of motion, and eventually
             death. This disease is very similar to the human disease called Parkinson's disease.
             Scientists can try to stimulate new brain cells to divide and regrow damaged areas in the
             sheep brain first and then try similar procedures for humans. Animal cloning can also lead
             to better production of food. Ranchers can take one cow, the best out of the whole stock,
             and clone it. This would improve his sales and our health because we are given a healthier
             product. Endangered animals can also benefit from animal cloning. For instance, instead
