Cloning, is it possible? if so who is responsible? Short answer, its possible. Long answer; we have the tools needed to clone anything we have the DNA of, however, we are still asking the question “Should we?” as there are many ethical issues with this. We have the instruments it’s just a matter of time. however, we ask “who would fund it?  if this is a legal project I believe it would be the government funding it because if they want it done, they pay for it. some other questions that came up were; is it good for the environment, why would we want to in the first place, and how was this going to affect other animals in the ecosystem?

if I had been allowed more time to work on this I would have a much longer paragraph and possibly a list of rules to abide by when cloning, and much more in-depth research. 

 

 

 

 

 

Information fluency

1. What is cloning?(I got this from back ground knowledge I already possessed) who pays for scientific research? What is a genome? Why should we clone extinct animals?
2. I used my the ‘Destiny Discover’ which is a tool that I am relatively familiar with. I also used google for background knowledge that was not necessarily researched.
3. I looked up the smaller questions and looked at how they would fit together.
4. I used a verified search engine.
5. It went rather well but if I could redo it I would choose a topic along the same lines but more like “how do you get the government to approve a cloning project?”
