  8. Why should’t you clone an extinct animal unless there is enough diversity in the group? • There will not be enough genetic variation in the group to be able to resist new illnesses.

  9. 2.Why is it wrong to clone an extinct animal if it would have to live in a zoo? It is not a good idea to clone an animal that would have to live in a zoo because it is not a suitable habitat to develop and increase its numbers.The zoo is not a natural environment for a wild animal.

  10. 3.Why can’t you clone the DNA of animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years? The DNA of animals more than 10,000 years old is not suitable for cloning ,for it can’t survive so long.

  13. I have chosen the second one---Dodo bird. I think my choice is the best for the fellow reasons: Firstly, the Dodo bird is friendly and not harmful. Then the human beings wouldn't be afraid of it. And humans would be friends with them. Secondly, Dodo bird 's large eggs and tasty meat that could be developed for food. If it is necessary, humans can take the advantage of these.

The arguments for medical cloning were very strongly put by the team supporting the motion. They argued that serious il- ln-esses and people who w losing their ability to move or think could be helped by medical cloning. They explained that the procedures would be safe, quick and with no problems for the patients. They quoted that 67% of American citizens are for it to support their idea. Their arguments were very convincing.

  16. The arguments put by the team opposing medical cloning were less strong. They argued in two ways. The first reason was that the procedures were not yet secure. Their second reason was that it took many tries and many potential animals had to be killed to produce one useable embryo for research. They explained that man European countries don’t allow medical cloning research because of this. They quoted Pope John Paul Ⅱ. But their arguments were not so convincing. At the end of the debate the audience we left with a feeling of hope. They realized that diseases that seem terrible today may be able to be cured soon. Many people were excited and happy when they left they Hall .The writer of this article was among them!
