First of all, bringing back extinct species of animals will further human knowledge. While few records of prehistoric animals, including the wooly mammoth, have been recorded, reviving these long-extinct species of animals may help fill the empty spaces found in history textbooks. Finally, humans may one-day be able to truly experience and accurately learn about the Earth’s past. Moreover, reviving these once-extinct species may solve the dilemmas of their modern-day descendents. For instance, the wooly mammoth is an example of a species of animal that is being brought back, or at least is being attempted to. Furthermore, it is theoretical, but highly possible, that implementing the genomes of the wooly mammoth, once it has been revived, into the egg cell of an elephant may throw the animal species “back in time”. Specifically, the elephant-mammoth hybrid species may actually be able to survive in harsher and colder weather climates than the current one. Most essentially, this will eventually allow elephant communities to comfortably survive outside of their current homes of Africa and Asia, where conflict and poverty are rife throughout. Regarding other outcomes, assuming that the “Jurassic Park” experiment is successful, an inevitable spark for further experimentation with CRISPR will be created, and and with each consecutive success, an explosive increase is sure to
Cloning is an idea that is often portrayed in science fiction as a way to essentially duplicate another living being. It has been making an appearance in the real world as something that could be useful in the medical and scientific fields as a way to bring back animals or to save peoples’ lives. Due to how unique cloning is, it was portrayed in famous parts of the media such as Jurassic Park. Although cloning does sound promising, it does possess a darker side to it, which does raise both moral and ethical issues. There are articles that do discuss cloning in which they either list the benefits of it or tell us about what moral and ethical issues that do come out of cloning. The differences between the articles allow the reader to make their own decisions on how they perceive the notion of cloning.
The human race has greatly benefitted through the use of animals. They have not only been a great form of companionship for people, but have also helped with the success in the world of medicine. For many years, the rights of animals and animal experimentation have been up for debate on whether or not it should be legal. Some may find that animal testing has led to major advancements in the medical world and that it is a small price to pay to save millions of lives, but others believe it is inhumane and that animals should be given the same rights as humans. Although the experimentation of animals has furthered medical knowledge, it should not be allowed because it is brutal and animals are unable to give their approval.
Zoos have always been something that families love and kids look forward to going to. Kids learn about the animals and the habitats and enjoy the entertainment. It is a great experience for people, but not for the animals. Zoos are downright cruel to Animals. Animals our forced to live in an unreal stressful, and boring conditions.
Cloning does not benefit humans or animals it is just causes deaths. Taxpayers will waste their money on cloning that is
Scientists have cloned various animals to attempt to reproduce an exact replica of the original animal. One major reason why cloning animals is an ongoing issue is that it causes suffering for animals. It is said that “animal surrogates were manifesting adverse outcomes, and cloned animals were having diseases and even high mortality rates. One of these negative results is the large offspring syndrome (LOS), where clones are large at birth since they came
The benefits of the use of this technology also comes with a high price. The priorities of the environmental issues should instead be more widely discussed and promoted instead of a technology that is unsafe, unreliable and brings insecurities to the public. The idea of de-extinction might be amazing and interesting, but it is impractical due to the fact that it brings more harm than good especially in the long term. However, it is undeniable and inevitable that the bioscience technology will continue to develop and flourish. Hence, more attention and resources would definitely be put into stem cell research technology as well as the technology of species revivalism. For de-extinction to be supported by more people, the implications that comes with it ought to be successfully resolved. A balance has to be achieved such that the negative impacts would not outdo and overshadow the positive effects. Since science is constantly having positive achievements and breakthroughs, it might be highly possible that in coming years de-extinction might be successfully achieved without negative effects
Cloning is a topic discussed by many people. Cloning is controversial because there are both good and bad things about it. There are issues with the technology used in cloning. There are also scientists cloning embryos, animals, etc for research when that is not allowed. Cloning is tied to the story The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, because it was mentioned in one of the chapters. It was when the scientist showed Henrietta’s children what they do to her cells. They keep them frozen to preserve the cells. He also showed them how her cells self-clone. The topic of cloning is a negative thing for several reasons due to its impacts on embryos and
Imagine you are five years old, someone breaks into your home, kills your aunt and possibly your older brother in the process of kidnapping you. You are separated from your loved ones, leaving your mother in severe pain and grief. You are taken somewhere unknown, imprisoned in a cell where people come watch you for their own entertainment. This is exactly how animals held captive in zoos and sea-parks feel. Zoos generally hold a variety of animals for public display, also known as “zoological parks.” On the other hand, sea-parks, hold fish and amphibians. These parks that exhibit animals are inhumane and barbaric. Vulnerable creatures are being abused daily and few seem to care about this issue. Zoos and sea-parks should be banned and
“The Creation is disappearing so quickly.” These are words spoken by Edward O. Wilson in an interview on NPR’s Talk of the Nation radio show, and they are very much true. Current human activities are removing ecosystems and extinguishing species, if we continue to the end of the century, projections show that we could have lost or be right on the edge of losing about half the known species of plants and animals by then. Yet with these facts present, why is no one taking action? The world is dying and it is for the most part all due to human action. We spend top dollar for views of the ocean and overlooking green park space in our crowded cities, but we still distance ourselves from nature as a whole. Luckily, there are those in the world that
There is a large number of people who would disagree with the statement that “Animal testing is very beneficial” but what these people don’t realize is that without animal testing we wouldn’t have all the medical advancements that we have today. Animal testing has made a huge impact on our daily lives and will affect our future to come.
Animal testing also known animal experimentation is a process whereby non-human animals are used to conduct experiments. There has been an increase of animal testing in the field of biomedical research. Due to this, animal testing has become an extreme controversial topic that has created a division among different groups, of those who are supporting the process and those who are opposing. Therefore, there are ongoing debates on whether animal testing should go on or it should be banned. Some groups argue it is ethical, while others insist that the process is unethical, and there is a last group advocating for alternatives in the testing other than the use of animals. Animal testing should be banned because it is an unethical process that subjects animals to so much pain. In addition, it should be banned because, it is inaccurate, unreliable, and its benefits to human beings have not yet been fully confirmed by the current research.
Fiester (2005) states that most of the animal cloning projects are driven by the goal of meeting human needs such as treatment of diseases, food production, and entertainment. However, there are animal cloning projects aimed at conserving endangered or
Rights are against the use of force and they are our primary if not only our means of survival. There is only one fundamental right: To live successfully, a man has to make his own choices as well as animals too (Roleff,2014,p.33). There is a huge difference between giving animals their rights which is less than human beings and not to give them rights at all. Nowadays animals are presented in many places of entertainment such as zoos and cruces as well as aquariums where the audients pay a lot of cash to watch fun and exciting things going on, it sure makes us happy but what about the animals are they happy too? Are places of entertainment appropriate for wild animals to live in it normally? let`s find out. Some people believe that animal
Animals are dying from millions of subjected tests every day. All these helpless animals can do is be used and wait till they are no use to us anymore. It is pretty sad one day it’s going to get to the point where the people test on ourselves. Just because scientists or college students need to find a cure for a disease or just simply anything does not mean we need to sacrifice the poor animals in this horrible way. Now there are only three main things to talk about which is people need to know how many animals have been tested on, the drugs that have been used on them and what to do to stop animal testing.
