Cloning Positive Effects

1. How do you relate cloning in agriculture to possibly ending world hunger?
- Yes, thank you for that..Well Farmers and gardeners have been cloning plants since early
times, it is a natural technique called cutting which uses the plant’s vegetative part to grow
the exact same plant. Today, Farmers typically use hybrid seeds, which are produced by
mating two types of crop with desirable traits, to grow their harvests. But because these
hybrids don't produce seeds with the same features, farmers spend a lot of money buying
new hybrid seeds every year which is costly. What if we can create a hybrid crops that can
produce hybrid seeds with exact same traits?
- That’s what our biologist were doing right now, In fact, in 2018 Sudaresan a biologist along
with his colleagues proposed a method that allowed them to produce clonal seeds directly
from plants, bypassing the sexual reproduction process. Imagine if we could apply these to
hybrid crops such as rice then our farmer can have high-yielding crops, disease and pest
resistance. In livestocks, if we could clone an animal that has the best quality and healthier
then it would allow our farmers to accelerate the reproduction of their most productive
livestock in order to better produce safe and healthy food. That being said, By cloning high-
yielding crops and livestock, we can increase food production and help feed the growing
global population. This would improve food security and help to reduce poverty, the poor
can have easier access to food and no more hungry children. I, Thank you.
2. How does cloning can help our endangered species?

- Thank you….ladies and gentlemen..Cloning can be used to conserve endangered species. By
cloning animals that are close to extinction, we can help to ensure that their genetic
material is preserved for future generations. Interspecies embryo transfer is a method used
to clone Six endangered species which resulted in live births, these includes the African
wildcat, the gaur, the Indian desert cat, the bongo antelope, the mouflon sheep, and a rare
red deer. Scientist were hoping they could use this to clone the Giant panda and Asiatic
cheetah. Recently, a black-footed ferret named Elizabeth ann was successfully cloned from
the gene of a ferret named Willa who died 30 years ago. A cloned Mongolian white horse
was born in texas in 2020 which is also an endangered species. Ladies and gentlemen, there
are thousands of endangered and critically endangered species that are in the verge of
extinction. If successful, with cloning we can restore the biodiversity and protect the balance
of ecosystems around the world. Thank you very much
3. Why do you think our scientists were so eager to clone human stem cells?
- Good morning everyone, Thank you for that question, so basically, stem cells are the key
and foundation to all organs and the ultimate repair system for any damages in the body.
That’s why it is also referred as the “master cells”. So ladies and gentlemen just from these
description we can already conclude why our scientist were so determined to clone the
human stem cells. It has the potential to cure diseases by allowing scientists to create new
organs for transplant. This would eliminate the need for organ donors and reduce the
waiting time for those in need of a transplant. There has already been a promising result: a
step towards therapeutic cloning, in 2014, Scientists Yamada, M., Johannesson, B., Sagi,
I. and their other colleagues reported the first conversion of human skin cells back to
embryonic state with the purpose of synthesizing human stem cells. Furthermore, Cloning
can also be used to produce medicine and vaccines more efficiently, improving access to
life-saving treatments for millions of people around the world. And I Thank you
4. How can cloning can give rise to the economy?
- Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen, I do believe that Cloning can have positive effects on
our economy. It can contribute to economic growth and create new jobs in the agricultural
and healthcare sectors. One example is the Genentech Company. This company once
succeeded in cloning human insulin. After four years of operation, Genentech went public
and offered jobs. This could solve problems with some nations, and I think that developing
nations need it.
Final round questions
1. Why should cloning be ethically acceptable?

- Ladies and gentlemen, Cloning has become increasingly accepted by the public in recent
years, as its potential practical applications have become more widely known and
appreciated. Despite its controversial nature, cloning can be seen as an ethically acceptable
practice due to its potential to advance medical research, create new opportunities for
endangered species conservation, potential to create human organ replacements for
transplantation, Agricultural and economic benefits. That would be all.
2. Why should we embrace the cloning technology?
- Everyone, cloning has the potential to bring about positive change in many areas of our
lives. Effects of climate change and other unnatural phenomena are fast approaching and
we couldn’t keep up…From saving lives and improving food production to conserving
endangered species and contributing to economic growth, cloning offers us the chance to
create a better future for all. Let us embrace this new technology and work together to bring
its many benefits to fruition.
3. Do you think cloning will ever be successful in the future?
- Thank you for that wonderful question, Cloning has been a concept that has been explored
for some time, and while the technology to achieve it has been in development, it still has
yet to be perfected. Currently, cloning is only successful in limited species, and even then,
the cloned organisms still may have complications such as birth defects. However, scientists
are continually making progress in the field, and some researchers believe that cloning may
soon be a viable solution to various medical issues. It is yet to be seen whether cloning will
ever be perfected to the point of being beneficial, but the research and advancements in the
field of cloning is certainly promising.
