gee, i see that %26quot;no, there shouldn%26#039;t be any endangered species.%26quot; is popular.but it would seem to me, that misses the point.
i don%26#039;t have a problem with it.
(unless, of course, it%26#039;s a flu virus, or a small pox germ.)
cloning will not increase the gene pool.
it will, however, increase the odds that the gene pool that exists will be able to reproduce.
generally, that%26#039;s a good thing.
Edit: concerning genes mutating, i%26#039;ve not heard any evidence at all that cloned animals are any more subject to mutation that animals resulting from normal reproduction, so i think that%26#039;s not an issue. 67% 2 Votes

No we should just preserve their natural habitats and stop being a reason for their endangerment.

I agree with saving habitat and doing things right. When it comes to things like that I have mixed emotions. On one hand I think that we shouldn%26#039;t be tampering with that sort of things. I think it shouldn%26#039;t be used for luxury or any other frivolous reason. I also think that if there is a true benefit from using it to help prevent the total extinction of a species, then I don%26#039;t think I could say it%26#039;s bad. It%26#039;s so difficult to see that things like that are kept in safe and capable hands, there to me lies the problem.

Nature should be left the way it is. Plus there is no proof that genes wont *mutate* causing the animals to inhabit new and possibly dangerous charestics.
**mutate-- error in coding of DNA.
All this was on a video my class was watching for a case study. 0% 0 Votes -
first you should try to preserve their environment and try to get them to make it on their own. If u clone them they wont live very long and as far as i no they wont be able to bread and the clones well have the same DNA as the host they were cloned from and that can also cause some problems.

if cloning was a perfect science than I would say go for it but at present I really don%26#039;t think it is a safe science.We would be better of trying to protect and save the natural environment that these animals are living in now and hope they can do it on there own.

I really don%26#039;t think they should. It%26#039;s unatural. Also, think about this; we are chopping down trees everywhere, destroying animals habitats, and we%26#039;re polluting, also demolishing these animals natural resources, but then we just walk right away thinking that it%26#039;s no big deal. We don%26#039;t care how much paper we use, and our president obviously doesn%26#039;t care either. WE are destroying the land. WE are ruining these animals lives and entire species. WE are causing all this and now we want to start cloning animals? We killed them in the first place, so what are we doing, addmitting that it was wrong and trying to bring back the species? It may seem like that but it isn%26#039;t like that because we still do it, we still chop and pollute and waste. So, no, I don%26#039;t think people should clone animals. They should make a choice, either be with the animals, or not.

absolutely. no problem with that. same animals, but more of them.

To the best of my understanding of the cloning process.
You would accomplish nothing by %26quot;Cloning%26quot; endangered species, since cloning is reproducing the same individual over. You would wind up with two animals the same, no way of propagating the species (Like marrying yourself) 0% 0 Votes
