Cloning cannot improve dog breeds as:

1) cloning is using parental DNA to breed which has exactly the same set of genetic information be it good or not.

2) clones will not necessarily look identical to donor.

3) premature aging and problems with immune system and life span of clone may already be shorter than normal due to shorter chromosomes.

Pros:
1) by accepting the aid, there is a higher potentential in producing higher crop yields.
2) in addition the people do not have to starve during the long drought, avoiding the risk of facing famine.

Cons:
1) Some of the genes used in Genetically
modified(GM) technology might be taken from a food that causes allergies in some people. Also, a new allergen could be produced when genes are mixed across different species.

2) Some GM food are modified using bacteria and viruses, there is a fear that we will see the emergence of new diseases.

Nevertheless, despite the risk, we should be accepting the supply of GM corn as we need the food to survive.
