Donaville says that we could clone animals that have become extinct.,terrible,,,are becoming extinct,Presenter: Our topic for this week is cloning. To discuss it, we have with us Dr Hugh Donaville, head of a company that has already cloned a number of animals. Hugh D: Good morning. Presenter: Dr Donaville, could you begin with a simple explanation of cloning? Hugh D: Certainly. Cloned animals are created in a laboratory. They take all their genes from a single parent.,Listening text:,Presenter: So cloned animals come from one parent only. Hugh D: Precisely. Presenter: How successful has cloning been so far? Hugh D: Well, as most people know, in 1997 scientists cloned a sheep called Dolly. Since then, scientists have cloned animals such as pigs and cats. Presenter: You make cloning sound easy.,Hugh D: Do I? I wish it was. If it was easy, I’d be a very rich man by now. Presenter: So what are the difficulties? Hugh D: Unfortunately, cloned animals get ill and die quite young. For example, Dolly the sheep died in 2003. She should have lived longer. Presenter: Why do they get ill?,Hugh D: We’ve got a few ideas but we don’t really understand why yet. Presenter: I see. Now obviously, Dr Donaville, you believe that cloning will be beneficial to human beings. Hugh D: Yes, I do. If I didn’t believe that, I’d be in a different job. Presenter: Many people believe that cloning is wrong and against nature. How do you answer them?,Hugh D: I tell them that cloning is a way of helping nature. Presenter: But cloning treats animals and people as things, as products. Hugh D: Nonsense! I don’t think that’s true at all. I don’t think scientists treated Dolly the sheep as a product. She was a sheep! Presenter: I’m not sure everyone believes that. Also, people are afraid that scientists will create thousands of copies of the same person.,Hugh D: I agree, if that happened, it would be terrible. We need laws to prevent that. Presenter: I’m glad you agree about that. But why do scientists want to clone humans? I can’t see any good reasons for this. Hugh D: On the contrary, there are very good reasons. For example, if a couple can’t have children, then cloning can give them a child. And if a child dies, we could clone it. Presenter: Create an identical copy, you mean? I think that’s a terrible idea.,Hugh D: A clone can never be an identical copy of another person. It’s not just your genes that create who you are. It’s your family and society as well. Presenter: True. Hugh D: To continue, we could clone animals that are becoming extinct. Presenter: Yes, if we were able to do that, it would be wonderful. I can see there are many arguments both for and against cloning.,
