Future of Cloning

Scientists have accelerated more into the world of animal cloning.  Since Dolly, the first cloned mammal, was created, scientists have cloned many more of the mammalian species, such as cats, horses, pigs, cows, and a big supply of rodents. But where is it going?

For a few hundred years, scientists have tried to protect endangered species.  Why not just clone them?  Want to bring back the dinosaurs?  Clone them.  The process of copying an animal could indeed do miracles.

Scientists plan on rooting out the diseases of the Donor animal by using DNA transfer techniques.  Using these techniques they also plan on making better meat and food carried by livestock and other animals such as pigs and sheep.  The fur will also be enhanced.

The same technique will be used to purify the proteins in medicines and therefore help ones struggling with a mortal disease.  Scientists will do this by biologically engineering the proteins then export them globally. 

Cloning is also very dangerous.  Already political fights are started because of the biological copying.  The majority of the masses are against the process, but scientists, Cloners, and most people who can afford the money to clone their pets think it's a wonderful enhancement in biological science. 

The risks of cloning are incredible.  What if the cloning tools were contaminated when they were used to fix the proteins of medicines?  A serious disease could start and the world would lose a huge chunk of its population. 

What if when enhancing the attributes of livestock meat, something went wrong?  If the milk became poisonous?  Many people would die.

The disasters of cloning wouldn't have to be accidental.  If some new dictator in the future had the power of cloning he could wipe out anything standing in his way to world domination.  He could do this by making a food or drink produced by an animal toxic, the selling it to every store in the world, then simply waltzing in and take over the world.

There are many things that could come from cloning, and not much of it is good.
