Gordon, Irvine, Cal Manyplans are under Cloning be way, but they're meeting with strong opposition. yged The animals are endangered becausetheir hab- to save itats are disappearing. Critics arguethatcloning wouldn't changethat. In9 stead, theysay. it would species? provide a quick and unwelcomefix: the ability to maintain a limited population of carbon-copyanimals that humanscreateat will to live in artificial environments,such as zoos. I believe their argumentis weak. Cloning was neverintended asa replacementfor habitat preservation. Rather,it is a tool oflast resort for animal-lovers who are concerned that efforts at saving the natural environmentsare failing and that the animals will be lost forever otherwise. Myown concerwithcloningis that. if it succeeds, well-meaning people(like you!) maythen believethat the problem has been solved. This would be a terrible outcome,lessening the urgencyto pressforthe onlyreal solution: a world where animals can runfreeinthe wild.
