I believe it was my freshman year of high school when I went to California for my Spring Break with my family. We went to the San Diego Zoo and whilst passing the Panada cage I came up with the brilliant idea of cloning endangered animals. Now they're finally doing it, but they're a few years behind me and my brain.
Go and check it out.

We must use our chemistry knowledge to successfully clone ironoxide		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

First, if any species is upgraded off the endangered list by cloning, they should have to be listed with an asterisk. Secondly, if you clone animals to build up their numbers, I think there would be problems for the next generation. Since you would have clones of a few animals mating with each other, then there would be a bunch of offspring that share some or all of a genetic makeup and then whom would they mate with. I'm not sure if that's a valid concern or not, but it makes me think that they better be sure of a plan if they ever try it.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Say one of these clones gets a cold or something, will all of them be susceptible to that cold (or maybe something worse like hoof and mouth disease or the clap). ps Avoid the clap		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
