14. Answer the following questions: 1. Why shouldn’t you clone an extinct animal if there isn’t enough diversity in the group? 2.Why is it wrong to clone an extinct animal if it would have to live in a zoo? 3.Why can’t you clone the DNA of animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years?

15. 1.Why shouldn't you clone an extinct animal unless there is enough diversity in the group? There will not be enough genetic variation in the group to be able to resist new illnesses.

16. 2. Why is it wrong to clone an extinct animal if it would have to live in a zoo? It is not a good idea to clone an animal that would have to live in a zoo because it is not a suitable habitat to develop and increase its numbers. The zoo is not a natural environment for a wild animal.

17. 3. Why can't you clone the DNA of animals that have been extinct longer than 10,000 years? The DNA of animals more than 10,000 years old is not suitable for cloning, for it can't survive so long.

44. 2. Listen to the tape again and then work with a partner to fill in the chart. Mary’s ideas about cloning Xiao Qing’s ideas about cloning 1 cruel to animals 1 scientists are doing a wonderful job 2 makes them do unnatural things 2 may bring back extinct animals 3 it is a “dead end” 3 problems because it is a new science

45. Mary’s ideas about cloning Xiao Qing’s ideas about cloning 4 clone born at age of “mother” 4 scientists need encouragement 5 weakens the species 5 it may provide medicine for illnesses

46. Listening Text IS CLONING CRUEL? Xiao Qing and Mary Brown are discussing whether cloning is cruel to the animals. MB: Xiao Qing, do you think cloning is cruel?

47. XQ: What do you mean by that? The scientists are doing a wonderful job and soon they may be able to bring back extinct animals or even people’s favourite pets back to life. MB: Yes, Qing, I know. But doesn’t that seem strange to you? Is it worth it? It took 276 experiments before

48. Dolly was successfully cloned. Think of all those live cells and eggs that died in order for Dolly to be born. I don’t approve of that! XQ: But Mary, be reasonable. Isn’t it always like that with a new science? This is the way you learn to do

49. things better. It’s just that this one deals with living things. MB: I suppose so — but they make the animals do unnatural things. One poor cow was made to give birth to a bison. What was the poor creature to think when is saw its baby?

50. XQ: I don’t quite understand why so many people are against cloning. I think the scientists need a little encouragement. They have done some amazing things and think of the benefits. Producing animals that are an exact copy of the original may help medical science produce

51. medicines or even organs for serious illnesses. MB: Yes, I’ve heard all that. I agree with it but I don’t agree with the methods. I don’t think cloning is good for the animals. XQ: Why not?

52. MB: Well, I think it’s a dead end. Dolly the sheep was “middle-aged” when she was born because her DNA came from a middle-aged “mother”. Cloning your grandmother would mean the new baby started life as an old lady!

53. XQ: Are you sure? I never thought of that! MB: And it also weakens the species. Clones mean there is less variety in the species and so illnesses will become more common and the animals may die out.

54. XQ: Oh dear! And that was just what you and I were trying to avoid. I see I shall have to look at this whole cloning question again!

55. Whose ideas do you agree with? Get ready to have a class discussion. Think about the reasons for your point of view. Use your own ideas as well as those in the text. These words and phrases on page 18 may be useful for you during the discussion ：
