According to the article, cloning sheep will have a huge benefit on producing healthy stem cells and furthering research on certain diseases. If cloning will help us in the fight against these diseases, I am all for it because I think that it is smart, harmless, and educational. However, with further research, just think of how cloning will improve in the future as we become more knowledgeable and test other organisms. The idea scares me a bit but I am also so intrigued to see just how beneficial cloning can truly be.

And the entire transgenic animal part is even more fascinating to me because, yes, I get we are surrounded by GMO's but that same biotechnology can be applied to animals as well. Because I was always so hung up on the fact that we were even able to clone, I never questioned why a sheep. I believe it is clever that Dr. Sinclair plays on animal behavior to distinguish the cloned sheep from the rest. Nothing beats looking on a molecular level though. I too am excited about future clonings and what they mean for figuring out diseases. But I also would like to have fun with it. Lets just clone a whale or cheetah or butterfly for the heck of it.
