Cloning+Cons

There are many cons to cloning.

Too many clones would create a population with little genetic variability. Everyone would be susceptible to the same starnd of a disease. Ex:cattle.

People will clone the perfect or best animals only, not letting there be improvement among the species. It would interfere with natural evolution.

Cloning is extremely expensive. It needs much money and biological expertise. It took Ian Wilmut 277 tries to create the first successful clone of Dolly, a sheep. The most recent and by far more efficient form of cloning only has a 2-3% success rate.

There is a risk of disease transfer between transgenic animals and the animal from which the transgenes were derived. If an animal has drugs in its milk becomes infected by a virus, the animal may transmit the virus to a patient using the drug.

There may be cloning testing on humans. this may lead to genetic tailoring of offspring. There is genetic manipulation of a human embryo before it begins developement. It is possible for a scientist to alter a baby's genetic code to force it to have a certain color of eyes, certain skin color, genetic resistance to certain diseases, etc. This is tampering with "mother nature!"
