Does Mother Nature know best? Cloning - using genetic engineering to make exact copies of living plants and animals - has been in science fiction for years. Since 1997, with the cloning of a sheep, Dolly, it has become part of real life and the subject of public debate. For some people, human cloning is acceptable in medicine 1________ the criticism that it is unnatural. For example, human tissue can be cloned for use in organ replacement or gene therapy. Also, organs provided by human clones could be 100% donor compatible 2________ organs provided in other ways might not be as successful. Moreover, couples who can't have children might be able to clone a child from themselves. Finally, endangered animals could be cloned to increase their numbers. 3__________, there are many arguments against cloning. 4 __________many people saw the cloning of Dolly as a major breakthrough, now they have to face the fact that the sheep is no longer alive. Thus, 5________ what some say, scientists have no idea of the long-term effects of genetic engineering. A growing number of genetically created creatures might be acceptable to society; 6_________ , creating 'perfect' plants and animals could eliminate the great variety of natural species on our planet. Furthermore, 7________ organs from cloned animals could be transplanted into humans, the risks to health are enormous, and some people find the idea repulsive. All things considered, I am against cloning. It is clear to me that we need to regulate genetic engineering and stop experiments now, before it is too late!

found out you were nothing, but a clone created in

science lab? Would you like to clone yourself?”

do you think
Do the negatives outweigh the positives?
Should

cloning be allowed or prohibited?
If it were allowed, could we regulate the process properly?

give the basic outline of your argument in the first

paragraph. 2. One paragraph should be about arguments in favour of the statement. 3. Another paragraph should contain arguments against the statement. 4. Your conclusion should be a balanced summary taking both sides into account.
