11、ing Sample version 1: If I had the powers, I wouldnt ban cloning, but I would only allow research to be done on certain animals.

12、 and were able to create cloned animals easily and cheaply, then I would allow scientists to experiment on humans. But I wouldnt let them just clone people as they wished; they would only be able to use their knowledge and skills in certain situations for example, for people who lost a child and wer

What kind of pressures will the child feel?All in all, I would determinedly ban cloning if I had the power. Sample version 3:If I had the power, I would encourage cloning. There are several reasons

18、. Firstly, cloning will be beneficial to humans. For example, if a couple cant have children, cloning could help give them a child. Secondly, we could use cloning to cure illnesses.
