What about Clone Things?


In Guterl’s (2008) article, “Would You Like Fries With Your Clone?,” he discusses GM food’s safety. According to this article, GM food has many benefits to people. For example, clone food has same quality as original food so it may help to save money. Actually, some of clone animals are already supplied in the US. However, there is some opposite side of people. That food could cause dangerous situation because it is not an original product from nature. Even though, the author gives both right and apposite sides because he claims that we would not expect cloning food may harmful for human.

The author’s opinion is clearly in this article. In U.S and European food agencies are try to make a clone food. Actually, clone food has both advantages and disadvantages. Foods are limited to take care all people in the world so they made clone food. This kind of work may improve the quality of food, save endangered animal species and help people to organ transplant.

First, the clone food may improve quality of food. Animals have superior in their species. In this case, there is some benefit if people take superior animals DNA for breeding. People can get a quality of food from them. The clone animals are bigger and stronger than others. So it could good for people, they can eat quality of food everyday and every time.

Second, clone body parts in animal body may help people to organ transplant. Some people in the world have deadly diseases. In some of their cases, if they have chance to organ transplant, they can live. So scientists can grow some people’s organ in animal’s body. Some scientists are already trying to that kind of project to mouse. When they set a small piece of ears on mouse’s body, the ears are getting bigger in natural way. So that may helpful earless people. Clone body parts need for people’s better quality life.

Finally, clone technique can save endangered animal species. Because of human activity, in some areas native species are endangered. So those animals have difficulty to reproduce their species because there are not enough census to breed. In this kind of case, the clone technology is so much helpful to animals. Moreover, the clone technology can reproduce exterminated animal species. It is very good way to save animals.

In conclusion, clone technology could cause bad things but it has more benefits. That can improve quality of food, help people to do organ transplant and save endangered species. So if the clone technology can control by people, it is good for people’s life.
