-health problem after birth
-Large Offspring Syndrome
-cloning the dog will only get a genetically same dog, no changes in the gene

pros
– more nutritional value
– extra shelf life
– can be planted in harsh environment

cons
– disrupt the balance of biodiversity
– not organic
– people may develop allergy

we will accept the offer, because it can solve the problem of potential famine.

The dogs could be born unhealthy. This is because it would not be 100% the same. It would result to different temperament as compared to the original. Cloning could result to ethical and moral concerns as well. This could be undesirable as dogs are vulnerable to diseases and viruses and could give unintentioned breeding results.

Pros :
1. It is cheaper which could last longer as well
2. It is said to have input more nutrients to replenish the lack of it

Cons.
1. It could contaminate and cause a diminish in the wild life.
2.It could develop allergies when the cross breeding is not suitable.

Cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals with the desired traits. Cloned animals are known for their shorter lifespans, and are more prone to sicknesses as it damages the genetic code. For example, Dolly (a cloned sheep) was put to sleep in February 2003 at age of seven, which is half of the normal life span as it suffered from arthritis and degenerative lung diseases.

Pros:
1. Able to have more nutritional benefits, preventing malnutrition during the drought.
2. It can be genetically modified to stay fresher for a longer time, allowing food supply to last longer in times of drought.
Cons:
1. It may trigger allergy in humans. Since it is inserting a gene from another food/plant, it could cause the host organism to express that trait. For eg, the herbicide resistant trait of soy could be inserted to another plant, as a result, there may be a chance of allergens in the host organism, and may be lethal to those allergic to soy.
2. The ecosystem may be harmed as the GM crop become increasingly pest resistant. It may pollinate elsewhere, leading to loss of biodiversity of species. It may also contaminate the genetics of other plant species, such as the superweed, which are weeds that have “evolved” to withstand conventional herbicides, and requires stronger herbicides to be used to remove it.

We accept the aid. In the short run, it is important to feed the population during the drought. However, in the long run, it is not as sustainable as it may affect the health of people and the biodiversity. As more research is done, and the disadvantages is eliminated, it may be sustainable to use GM foods.

Cloning cannot be used to make improvements as the technique simply produces genetic replicas of existing dogs. There also won’t be genetic diversity, making the dogs more susceptible to certain infections.

Pros:
1) Can withstand the drought conditions.
2) Can be engineered to stay fresher for longer to improve shelf life.

Cons:
1)Would owe a debt to the other nation and would need to return the favour in the future.
2) Harm the ecosystem and lower biodiversity level.

Animal cloning is a complicated process. In many cases, the defects manifest themselves later and will kell the clone. Furthermore, Cloning produces genetics replicas of existing dogs, it cannot make any genetic improvements to the existing breed of dogs.

Pros:
1) Could solve the famine crisis as more food will be available as GM food can produce higher crop level.
2) GM corn could be modified to enhance the nutrient level of the corn, hence solving problems like malnutrition which would be prevalent in a famine.

Cons:
1) Consumption of GM food increases the risk of food based allergies in people
2) Use of genetically engineered food will force pests to evolve, therefore the difficulty of controlling pest will be multiplied

If the DNA is taken from the dog of older age, the chromosome may be shorter than the newborn dog because of multiple cell divisions. And the breed will not be improved as the DNA would be exactly the same as the dog this DNA is taken from.
Breeding, on the other hand, would improve dog breed since it is through natural selection and there are wider diversity of genes.

Pro:
-Able to feed the people
-The food may be cheaper
-More nutrient

Cons:
Will contaminate the wild type crop in the country.
-people may develop allergy

Cloning does not change the genetics of the breeds as it literally copies all genes from the original source. This includes all the defects/mutation that are present in the cloned dog.
There is also ethical issues from cloning.

When breeding occurs, there will be variation to the genes and a better combination of genes may be formed.

PROS:
– The ability to grow corn that can feed both the citizens and the livestock.
– The corn will have better flavour and nutritional value.

CONS:
– May contaminate the wild corn types currently present in the country.
– Possibility of allergies being triggered by the GM food

Yes, we would accept cause saving the life of the citizens is more important. Though there will be after effects of using it.

– Cloning practices raise concerns on ethical issues

– Cloning results in producing the same kind of dog. It is essentially replicating the same dog with the same DNA. Therefore, there will be no change or improvements in
the breed.

– Breeding will be a better choice. Good traits could be passed down through genetics to produce better breeds.

2 Pros:
– Accepting the aid can help to tackle the issue of famine in the country
– GM food may help increase nutrition, decrease pesticide use and yield higher harvest at a low production cost

2 Cons:
– Local markets will be affected. Competition with the international market (economic cost)
– People may develop allergies from consuming the GM food (risks of negative health impacts)
