A Cloned Chop



     Cloning opens many doors of opportunities in the agricultural aspect of the United States of America.  It has already been a major factor in saving the lives of many humans.  I feel the society as a whole can not and should not degrade this scientifical finding.  I feel that human cloning should not be done and that this subject raises too many ethical questions.  I would like to focus on an agricultural aspect if I may.  People raised hell when animal parts were put into humans to save lives and today it is an accepted part of medicinal science.  I feel that cloning in an agricultural and medicinal aspect will become the same as transplanted animal parts.  It will go through much debate, but ten years from now it will be accepted scientifically, socially, and morally.  In an article in Newsweek called A Cloned Chop, Anyone?  They take a somewhat neutral, but also somewhat negative viewpoint of cloning in an agricultural and medicinal sense.  They admit some good aspects of this genetic engineering, but they still seem pessimistic of the future of cloning in animals excluding humans.
     The first thing the article states is the Wall Street opportunities for the biotech field.  Instead of phone calls from eager investors only phone calls from reporters were coming in asking about this market.  I feel that now would be a great time to invest in biotechnical companies specializing in agricultural and medicinal cloning.  This article says nothing about the great potentials of long term investment.  Long term investment especially in the medicinal field is incredibly profitable.  Just as in other controversial investing opportunities I feel that investors will find they could have made a lot of money if they invested in this area.  Ten to fifteen years from now this agricultural cloning will be a commonly routine thing and price wars will begin for the products produced by them which means many great investment opportunities will be available.  But one must remember that Wall Street is extremely short term investing so this is a good explanation for not many investors being interested in this because it is still many years before tangible and profitable products are made from cloning.
     The article goes on to say the Scottish scientists have a lot of good ideas, but they seem to be only a sci-fi adventure.  Once again I disagree.  Scottish scientists are trying to help the human race, not be lucrative mad scientists looking for another way to manipulate the human race.  The following are some things that have already been done with genetic engineering and they are helpful to us, the human race.  They plan on genetically engineering cows that produce altered milk formulas for premature infants.  This is great I do not know how anyone can go against this because if their infant's life were on ...
