This article is about a dead mouse after being frozen for 16 years getting cloned successfully. A scientist from japan managed to successfully clone a frozen dead mouse. The cells of the dead mouse were first dipped in anti-freeze substance to prevent damage to the cells. Then, they removed a nucleus from a brain cell and fused it with an unfertilised egg of which they gave an electric shock to stimulate the penetration by a sperm. Lastly, they let them develop into embryo before implanting it into a mouse womb.
With this mouse being successfully cloned, people want to clone the dead people to get back their loved ones. Although there had been successful cloning of animals there was a need of many tries to succeed. The tries either died in the womb or had life-threatening illness when born. Also if one of the clones were successfully cloned, he/she will still have to face many psychological problems such as: being make fun of by other people, interviews by the media etc. etc.
There could also be cloning of humans just for their organs. If a person's organ is failing, he/she could create a clone then kill it, just taking its organ. If this is possible, there will be a huge increase in the supply of "donor organs" and many lives could be saved. But, to create a living human and then kill it will be very cruel. It is like the purpose of that human to be brought to earth is to get killed.
I feel that we should only clone to increase the number of population on earth and not to selfishly get its organs or to just get back your loved one. We should put ourselves int their shoes if they were to be treated like a tool.
