Question

Imagine that you are assigned a three- to five-page essay that is due in three weeks. The teacher hands you the following writing prompt to guide your assignment:
"Scientists have successfully cloned animals, such as Dolly the sheep. Some people hope that cloning techniques will be used to clone humans someday, while others strongly oppose this use of technology. What is your position on cloning humans? Write a persuasive essay articulating your position on the cloning of humans. Use specific examples and details to support your views."

Brainstorm the topic and list at least six ideas. Then, list your chosen topic and explain why it is an appropriate choice.

Answer 1

Cloning humans:
pros- less work for an individual, maybe not completely cloning someone so like picking desirable traits in a person and changing that
cons- possible overthrowing of the "real" copy, families who have exact copies of each parent may end in incest, or even selfcest

But we already live in a world where there are real life clones. Twins, and triplets. I believe there's a Brain Games episode that discuss this topic.
