Well, i'm not sure on this subject myself either. But i can see that Xantar came in with that thing i'm having difficulty understanding...oh...thats it Knowleadge. Yea, thats it. Okay, so i may not be totally aware of the technical side behind cloning. Cloning is still a very new thing to scientists now, and fully understanding how to do it right is a very long way if, thats if we ever fully understand it. Not to long ago the idea of cloning animal's was purely science-fiction. But it's happened, dolly was the first ever clone of any animal (why they named the sheep dolly, i don't know. Maybe something a little more imaginative...like clonny). Now i'm going to forget the technical side which Xantar has brought up, and answer the question as if we can clone animals with no problems (because hey, you never know what the future holds).
I would hate to think that cloning really gets out of hand, and science fiction films project of the future really isn't far off what the future really is going to be like. Like in the sixth day, where you can buy back your dead dog. Personally, something just dosen't seem right with cloning. But i must admit, the idea Ric has put forward sounds like a good one. But, i think the line has to put somewhere. If we do clone endangered species, then why not clone animals that have died (like the dog from sixth day), then...well then why not clone people that have died from things other then natural causes, and after that, why not genetically alter future human beings for the better. Do you see what i'm getting at, once we take one step, were tempted to take the next. I think i line has to be drawn somewhere, so that the use of cloning doesn't get out of hand.
