Persuasive Essay On Cloning Animals

"A research team at Gyeongsang National University, headed by Kong Il-Keun, took skin cells from a Turkish Angora female cat and used a virus to insert the genetic instructions for making red fluorescent protein. Then they put the gene-altered nuclei into eggs for cloning. The cloned embryos were implanted back into the donor cat, which effectively became the surrogate mother for their own clones,” says (MSNBC.com.)
Along with cats, they have successfully administered the same glow in the dark experimented to mice, pigs, and goldfish to test the versatility of the ultraviolet marker. The success of the experiment shows that this ultraviolet marker will not only be able to track certain illnesses, otherwise killing silently, but hopefully one day be able to slow the extinction of certain wild species. The reason being is that the genetic variation of cats, mice, pigs and such have common traits, the ultraviolet maker used works best to reveal and track these traits. Therefore the possibilities of slowing the extinction of the certain species have the same or close to the same genetic traits. The glow in the dark cat is a stepping stone in modern science and medicine, opening new doors for research of human
Some may say that this is another way that animals are being treated unjustly, but these studies and experimentations will improve the longevity of a lot of animals that this generations grandchildren will have to read about in books. “ This astounding mistake will bring new heights to the study of prevention of endangered species, every step starts with a stumble. This protein is used as a highlighter, tracing the gene of choice, if this procedure is perfected it will bring forth a prevention of tragedy”
