I chose the topic of animal cloning because I thought it was interesting. Before starting this research project there was very little I knew about animal cloning and how it was done. The reason I went into animal cloning and not human cloning was because animal cloning is more practical. Not only is it easier to do it is actually being done all around the world whereas human cloning is a completely different story. What interested me most about animal cloning was the fact that it could possibly help stop the food shortage in the world. With cloned animals, the meat and by-products including milk, are safe for human consumption. It is possible to actually clone a cow from a piece of steak, we don't even need multiple animals to create more animals. The problems about finding research on animal cloning is that it is such a controversial topic. A lot of times, sources simply take you to articles about the ethical and moral aspect of animal cloning, instead of information on animal cloning itself. Even though it is a highly controversial topic on both moral and safety fronts, animal cloning is done quite frequently and in the U.S. Is especially focused on the state of Texas. The success of finding research on animal cloning is that I found many sites which provided me with good information on bioengineering animal DNA. My suggestions for anyone who is thinking about studying animal cloning would be to make sure you know specifically what it is you want to explore. There are many fields surrounding animal cloning such as the moral aspect of it, the commercial usage, FDA approval, etc. Animal cloning is such a broad topic that if you just search “animal cloning” you won't get what your looking for. Some good books are Nature Biotechnology [] and the PNAS [].
