lets Make the World a No-Clone Zone     Lets Make the World a No-Clone Zone is a actually straightforward and powerful article which lists many reasons why anything and everything about cloning should be illegal. In her article Therese M. Lysaught acknowledges there is plenty of factual information or counter evidence that her opposition might use to fight her argument. Her purpose for compose this article is to get it set in peoples minds that cloning is morally and ethically wrong and should be banned completely.      At the start of the article Therese has a very good thesis Banning the use of cloning to create babies doesnt go far enough, Even so-called therapeutic or research cloning involves the ending of human embryos and therefore is not only problematic, but also immoral (Lysaught par1). The thesis sets out her argument and lures the reader in with her powerful word weft and her appeal to emotion. Even if the readers already disag reed with the title they would be so intrigued by her well-written thesis they would have no choice but to just keep on reading.      Therese Lysaught is attacking anyone and everyone who feels cloning should be legal. But her main targets are those with the bigger voice, the politicians. She comes across very scare in stating her side of the issue, using a mussiness of easy-to-follow, factual information, which most people are more likely going to be able to understand. For example, according to Lysaught, cloning is a technique used to energise an embryo that is an exact copy of another organism, it does this "A sexually," which means without using sperm. There is also another form called reproductive cloning which is where the embryo is implanted into the womans womb and grown to test the effects of various toxins, or to mine them for their stem cells(Lysaught par7). Ms. Lysaught does a good job being intimidating while at the same time she works th e sympathy side of her issue, using the results of the animal test. A quote from her article states, In animals, more than 90 percent of cloning attempts fail to achieve live birth and live-born cloned animals suffer high rates of deformity and disability. Until these technical difficulties are worked out, the risk of harm to a cloned human is unacceptably high. (Lysaught par11) both of these approaches work well to push her argument.      She also anticipates questions and arguments from her opposition for example, In their so called views, cloning chances to stop human suffering outweighs moral and ethical concerns about embryonic life.
