Pre-Reading activities just because we have the scientific knowledge to do something, does that mean that we should automatically go through with it? Should scientists be allowed to clone animals? How about humans? What do you think? Again, no solutions
Pre-Reading Activities Can you imagine how much work the President of the United States could get done if there were three of him instead of just one? One could visit the doctor, while another traveled overseas to meet with political leaders. And there would still be one left to help his children with their homework. Of course, this is impossible, right? People can’t be copied like pages from a book … or can they? Well, it isn’t possible today. But recent advances in cloning technology may turn this fantasy into a reality sooner than you think. Recently, scientists in Scotland announced that they had cloned an exact copy of an adult sheep. That is, they took cells from a six-year-old sheep and created a baby sheep. When that baby sheep was born, it was an identical twin to the adult sheep, even though it was six years younger! Now it seems possible that the ability to clone humans might not be that far off. Although there are many possible benefits to cloning animals, many people don’t think it’d be right to clone a human being. In any case, many questions remain unanswered. Would a clone who starts off with adult genes have a shorter life because of it? No one knows. And how could you prevent someone from taking a sample of your hair and cloning you? Again, no solutions. Just because we have the scientific knowledge to do something, does that mean that we should automatically go through with it? Should scientists be allowed to clone animals? How about humans? What do you think?

Intensive stud 2 Sound far-fetched? That day may come. Scientists in Scotland recently announced that, for the first time, they have cloned an exact copy of an adult sheep. The cloned baby lamb, named Dolly, has the exact same genes as the adult sheep from which she was cloned. In other words, the two are identical twins; only dolly is six years younger. The goal of embryologist lan wilmut, the lead scientist, is to develop a way to raise identical sheep that produce medications for humans
