Introduction Do you know what cloning and genes are? Genes are things you get from your parents. Genes make you, you! Cloning is making a exact copy of another living organism. More about that later. In this Power Point, you will learn about actual cloned animals, how it works and if it is bad or not. {And much more!} Fasten your seatbelt!
What is Cloning? Cloning is a very useful tool. Cloning makes a exact copy of a living organism. Did you know that twins are classified as clones because they share the same DNA? You might think that cloning is the next best thing, but it can cause some problems, too. {See paragraph #6}
How Does Cloning Work? It is hard to understand how to really clone something, but this way is the easiest to understand: You have genes from your mother and father. You take one cell from a living thing. That little cell holds enough information to recreate the same living thing!!!!! Cool, Huh?!
Can Cloning Help Us? Cloning CAN help us! Cloning can solve many diseases. Some of the diseases are Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. Actually, Parkinson’s disease is cured with Cloning already! The future is in cloning’s hands! Another way cloning can help us is by cloning endangered species so they don’t go extinct! Cloning could save our mascot!!!!!!!
Does Cloning Create Problems? Even though of all it’s riches, cloning does have its flaws. Cloning has never had much success. Cloned animal meat may not be safe because Of genetic diseases that perhaps the animal got. If you got cloned, your lifespan would probably decline because of genetic diseases. Would you want to be cloned? {Probably not.}
Who Was Dolly? Dolly was the first cloned animal from an adult animal! Everyone was amazed at how this could happen. Guess what, this was only 17 years ago! Cloning would still be considered a new science. The cloning of Dolly made people wonder if human cloning was on it’s way to existence!
Human Cloning: Safe? Some people think that human cloning should be banned. It is this way because of genetic diseases that can be caused by cloning. You are very likely not to survive if you were to be cloned. Especially if you are young because we need our DNA. What do you think? Should human cloning be banned?
Closing Cloning is still a very new concept. It could keep endangered animals alive and help the world population to grow! The future depends on cloning to help! Cloning is a fascinating subject. What do you think?
