What is Cloning?
Cloning is the production of genetically identical copies of DNA, cells, or organisms through an asexual means. There are three types of cloning: recombinant DNA technology, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. There are many debates of cloning of animals and human. Cloning can help stop extinction of other animals and even bring some back to life that is extinct like the mammoth. Dolly the sheep who was the first mammal that was cloned was a celebrity in the science world. Dolly lived to be 6 and died with lethal injection. Dolly suffered cancer and arthritis but appear normal.
Cloning of animals can help with the extinction problems or mating issues. There are many researchers that are trying to save the animals from extinction and cloning can help solve this problem for the animals and humans.
Cloning can also be useful in the future for humans. Cloning can help produce organs for people who need a transplant or have diseases that can be a cure like Alzheimer or Parkinson’s.
The cloning of humans is in the question, whether or not if it is safe or necessary. What would be that purpose? I cannot image having another person that is the same as me walking around. Cloning should be only used for realistic reasons not just to seeing a cloned human. Cloning is not close to being safe and has a high percentage of failing imaging cloning a person and giving them life and watching them die because they got an infection or cancer.
In the future I see cloning being very important because people would not have to worry about going hungry if the climates change, the animals will always be around and people would not have to be sick, they could get a new organ. I think some scientist would still like to clone a human why else would they have a law against it if someone weren’t trying to. Someday they might but I know once it does happen there will be a lot of debating going on.

Peer Feedback on the ethical issues essay.
I feel that the 2 best things about this essay are the information about the benefits of cloning and how cloning was defined.
2 things that could be improved are the organization of the information and the grammer. It was a little hard to follow at times.
Something new that this essay made me think about was that cloning is not all bad, the fact that it may someday be used to create organs for transplant patients is great.
What most suprised me in the essay was all the different things that cloning can be used for.
