LA-E+ Pro+Human+Cloning

Hello grade 7 students. Welcome to your first wiki assignment!

Each student is part of a pro and con debating team for the question "Should humans be cloned?" You will be using this wiki to share your notes, questions and discussions with your team members. This will be a way to organize yourselves, to consolidate your findings, and to build stronger arguments. You may see the pages of other team members if you wish. This is a good thing as it will be necessary to prepare yourselves for the opposition's arguments. Feel free to read each other's notes, however, please ONLY EDIT THE PAGES OF YOUR OWN TEAM. 

Please remember to be respectful of other's opinions and other's work.

 State your name at the start of your notes. P  ick a font color to differentiate yourself form other students. Find ONE reliable website and take notes on the information. Enter your cloning notes on this page. Share main ideas and facts. These should be in YOUR OWN WORDS . No plagiarism! Cite the source : website address, author, organization, dates. Write a couple of sentences explaining why this site is reliable. EACH TEAM MEMBER MUST FIND A DIFFERENT WEBSITE.  You may begin a discussion by clicking on the discussion tab. You may also upload relevant videos. 

Grade: notes - 5 points, reliability - 5 points, citation - 5 points.

Full speed ahead!

Cloning would be very useful for medical purposes, it would benefit a large number of the population. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/tech/cloning/whyclone

Aitana According to Craig Freudenrich, Ph. D. cloning demonstrated that it is possible to save endangered species through it. http://science.howstuffworks.com/genetic-science/cloning.htm

 Cloning allows farmers and ranchers to accelerate the reproduction of their most productive livestock in order to better produce safe and healthy food.

Cloning reproduces the healthiest animals, thus minimizing the use of antibiotics, growth hormones and other chemicals.  Cloning can be used to protect endangered species. For example, in China, panda cells are being kept on reserve should this species' numbers be threatened by extinction. http://www.clonesafety.org/cloning/facts/why/

One of the key reasons is that human cloning could make available [|stem cells] that may repair damaged or diseased organs and tissues. It may eventually offer help for couples who can't have children, or make it possible to reproduce a person that has died.
