Adult somatic cell nuclear transfer, also known as cloning, may potentially be a method to
recover populations of endangered species. Recently, cloning was
used on the last surviving
cow of a rare breed
from New Zealand.
What is the strongest ethical and moral argument against continuing research and experiments
in cloning endangered species?
A. lack of mate selection for the cloned animals to reproduce
likelihood that cloned organisms would introduce new diseases to native species
C. possibilities that the process could be used on organisms for personal preference
D.
concern that it will disrupt the economic market for individuals selling uncloned animals
