Should Animals Be Cloned? Akiko Kawasoe from Japan Photo: Sandy Peters I read that pandas are endangered in China because they are losing their habitat. Some people think it might be possible to save endangered animals by cloning them. Tigers, elephants, and other endangered animals might be saved this way. In China, pandas are endangered because they are hunted and they are losing their habitat, so some Chinese scientists want to try to clone pandas to save them from extinction. I don't really like the idea of cloning animals, but I don't think I want pandas to become extinct. If the best way to save them is to make cloned pandas, then maybe it cannot be helped and they must be cloned. Panda are wild animals, so maybe researchers can make tame cloned pandas. This might be an egotistical human thought. However, I want to live with a lot of animals and nature. I don't want animals to die out, especially pandas. I think humans must think more about protecting animals and nature. Maybe cloning is the way to save all endangered animals.
