Cloning results in replicating the same dog breed, whereas not improving the dog breed. To improve, we require natural selection, gradually evolving the breed. |

There is no genetic diversity in cloning, so this makes cloned dogs more vulnerable to viruses, higher risks to newly evolved diseases. Breeding brings new variations into the existing gene pool if you cross breed. Also, different parents can result in different and potentially better combinations of genes, so breeding is better. Breeding might not give the desired results while cloning might have ethical issues. Breeding might bring an improvement of the species. |

Clonging cannot be used to make improvement of dogs because the technique simply produces genetic replicas of existing dogs. Other disadvantages of cloning are mutations (resulting in unhealthy dogs), early death or premature aging when somatic cells undergo telomeric shortening during cloning, and reduction in genetic diversity. |

Cloning cannot improve dog breeds because it copies the DNA of the initial subject as it is. This bypasses standard sexual reproduction which confers genetic recombination which gives rise to genetic variety. |

1.
Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical individuals as the parental organism. Being genetically identical, the breed of the dog will not improve as there is no variation in canine DNA since no new genes are introduced to improve the breed. |
|
2.
Pros: It helps solve the famine issue as GM foods has a longer shelf life, it will remain fresh for a longer period of time, feeding more people. GM seeds used in agriculture are able to resist droughts and floods better than natural organic seeds. Cons: GM food may trigger allergies in living organisms as genes from other plants might be used to produce the new species of food. They also pose a hazard to the ecosystem as it harms the organisms living in the ecosystem, bringing about a lower biodiversity. |

1.
Cloning merely provides a copy of the previous dog breed whereas breeding provides the chance of improvement. |
|
2.
The two pros include : Solving temporary problem of the country in crisis, reduce the need for huge manpower labour. The two cons include : potential harm to the ecosystem as by removing one pest that harms the crop, one is removing the food source for the animal. And there could be a possible emergence of new diseases since the GM corn is modified using bacteria and viruses. |

-It is not guaranteed that the cloning will go well |
|
2.
Pros Cons Will not accept the aid because even though it might help reduce famine, it might bring about serious problem of diseases. |

1.
Cloning produces genetically identical dog, hence there wont be any improvements in the dog breed. Meanwhile, breeding does result in better quality dogs. Cloning leads to decrease in genetic diversity. Therefore, if there is any contagious disease occur, it will wipe out the entire genetic population. Even though, the dog breed is cloned, there won’t be similar traits which may affect the dog’s overall health. |
|
2.
PROS: CONS: Yes, we will accept the supply for short-term, but not for long run. |
