RESPONSE TO CLONING
MICHAEL

As I read the short story about “Dolly” the cloned sheep, all kinds of thoughts on the subject of cloning came to my mind.
Is cloning right or wrong? I felt cloning has its place in the marine world.
I went on a search of this subject by going to the Internet and finding others views on this controversial and sometimes heated debate. I asked friends of mine what there views were on cloning fish to bring back the numbers of the now depleted stocks of marine life.
Well to my surprise ten of these salty, weather worn, professional fishermen, with years of experience who witnessed the numbers of fish being caught every year by the commercial draggers, from different countries, participated in an online poll the results of the poll were split, six for cloning and four against it. The four fisherman that seen it not necessary to clone
There reasoning being was that Mother Nature is doing a good job with replenishing our waters. The government of different countries is not putting the quotas for the harvest of fish low enough so the over fished breeds can rejuvenate. It is not mans job to fool around with the environment we live in it is our job to preserve it by any means possible. The five other people that answered this poll had the same feeling I had cloning would fix the problem quick but there are so many unanswered questions on this subject we should proceed with caution. Until we research and see what the consequences would be of genetically altering the ocean environment no we should not clone.
im turning in this paper tommorro after i edit it thanks for help!!
