Many questions were brought up in the group discussions, and many people didn't have a chance to voice their opinions in the class discussion that followed. We could easily have spent the entire class period in discussion, and that is something I would like to see happen in the future. I would like to talk about cloning. One reason scientists might want to clone people is to replace body organs. Cloning can be used to make identical animals for controlled experiments on those animals.
Cloning can help replenish a herd of animals within a very short time period.
The end result will be that we will have more problems than ever before. Having fields populated by a single organism will be a form of monoculture, and disease will have to be stopped with chemicals or other extreme methods. Fields would be overgrazed as animals were created and placed on the field more and more quickly than ever before. Cloning would also put humans squarely in charge of the evolution of a species. Perhaps vital components of the species gene pool would be lost this way.
