First of all thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I am a college student enrolled in an American Government class in which we discuss the issues that conflict our nation today. I am writing to express my views, and inform you of the perspective that I have as a college student on the issue of cloning. .
A few years ago if you were to ask someone about the possibilities of cloning they would most likely say it was impossible. This attitude towards cloning has been held into belief up until recently when scientists in Scotland cloned a sheep; and immediately after scientists in Oregon cloned a monkey. The most major breakthroughs of the century in science have occurred and we are not ready for it. The scientific breakthrough of cloning has caused a great deal of controversy in the media and also in the government. The advantages of cloning are tremendous to the human race and cannot be ignored. .
Imagine if one of your friends or family members was in need of a liver or kidney. Most likely you would donate your own liver or kidney to save their life. Which would leave you one organ short. This is the only option we have today but cloning can give us another option. Transplant hearts are hard to find, but not if you had a clone of yourself that could supply you with a new organ or maybe even a relatives organ that was naturally stronger. People could replace their old organs with new ones and extend their life span. Thousands of lives could be saved if we had the technology and advanced science of cloning available. .
Also farmers would benefit from cloning their select animals. This would also give the consumer better meat quality and lower the price of meat. Governments in countries where famine is present could master cloning techniques and provide for the starving populations in their country. One of the most beneficial effects of cloning animals is that species of animals whose populations are almost extinct could be replenished by cloning such as the Blue whale.
