Description
Clones R Us (CRU) is a private company that describes itself as �the
world�s leader in the cloning of exceptional pets.� CRU funded research
at a local university that led to the 2010 birth of the world's first
cloned cat, a healthy kitten named CC ("CopyCat"). CRU is now offering
cat cloning services to the public on a limited basis. In May 2013, CRU
plans to begin cloning nine cats, with the resulting kittens delivered
to their clients by November 2013. (Three of the cats to be cloned
belong to CRU employees.) Some people think this is a great service to
offer, while others are not so sure. Why do some people feel that
cloning cats or any other living creature would be unethical? What are
some of the reasons researchers give that support cloning? Which side
would you take in the argument, and why would you choose that side?
