Now that you have looked at pros and cons of agricultural cloning, how do you feel about the use of this technology? You learned in a previous activity that, depending on the audience, your answer may be different. For this task, assume the role of a farmer. Using the ideas gathered in your brainstorming session, develop and support a two paragraph opinion (or a maximum one minute audio or video recording) about one of the following statements: Only those cows that produce the highest yield of milk should be cloned. Entire fields should only contain clones of the most insect resistant plants from the prior year. We should only raise naturally produced plants and livestock and let nature do its thing. Any other idea you would like to discuss (but check your idea with your teacher first).
