In February 1997, scientists in Scotland announced the birth of the first cloned sheep, this made the future of cloning possible and they began extensive experiments on cloning and have since cloned both plants and animals successfully. The next step was to clone actual humans, but before experiments could be carried out, pressure started to build on the scientists because people doubted if cloning was ethical and morally correct.

Thousands more also died waiting for livers, hearts, and other vital organs, and the number of people dying each year is increasing at a gory pace" (Thornton, par.1).

If someone ever has an organ fail, they probably would not want to get put on some waiting list hoping that someone else can die and have the organ still good, so they can get their organ transplant. They only have a slim chance of that happening and could die waiting. They would probably like the fact that if they needed a .
