Persuasive Essay On Cloning

Cloning. The thing we’ve all seen in Sci-Fi movies and in books, which was once thought impossible, is now a reality. This is a problem. With the economic risks and the ethical violations, cloning is truly a disgusting thing. How would you be comfortable with a second you wreaking havoc, getting you into trouble? Or the economic unrest that will follow? Cloning will have a massive negative impact upon our society, and the world. With the waste of money, time, and resources, as well as the moral and ethical issues associated with said technology, Cloning is a step too far in the technological field of the unknown. Cloning and all previous information dates back to 1885, when scientists figured out how twinning works. By using a Sea Urchin,

For scientists to make any further advancements in cloning technology, they need eggs from Women. When scientists are performing an experiment, they inject the egg with a stem cell. This cell then grows inside the egg, almost as a child would in the womb. When the cell has developed into an organism, the scientists extract the organism for testing and information. According to Forbes, the cost to extract eggs from a women would easily soar above $100,000 not including medical costs. The process to extract 10 eggs is long. First scientists have to pay each women $3000-$5000, then for the procedure, they must be drugged twice. The first drug halts all egg production, and the second is to kickstart egg production into overdrive. Then a surgery must be performed to extract 10 eggs, and this surgery can scar. So if scientists needed 100 eggs, they’d have to pay 30000-50000 dollars to the women. The drugs needed to carry out the next step of the process is also expensive. Finally the surgeries to extract the eggs need to be paid off as well. So the costs to extract eggs to clone is just too expensive for our economy at this time. With an economy such as ours today, and the amount of debt we’re in as a nation, it would take decades for us to even remotely consider the implications of
