There is much debate about cloning in the world today. Many people think that living organisms should be created only
through natural reproductive methods and that scientists have no right to tamper with the genetic makeup of an animal
before it is born. However, many scientists argue that cloning could help to end many genetic diseases by altering the
genetic makeup of embryos before they are born. Using the information you have learned about genetic engineering, write
your opinions about whether you think cloning research should be continued.
