Argument 2 ,[object Object],If a patient needed an organ transplant, then they would have to take harmful anti-rejection drugs for the rest of that person’s life which has side effects such as, weak bones and memory loss and could really harm the person. If the patient had gotten their organ cloned then that organ would be custom made for that specific person. Their tissue would be histocompatible therefore the patients body would not reject the organ because it would be identical to their own organ. This is why organ cloning is a much better solution to organ transplants than taking anti-rejection drugs.

Argument 3 ,[object Object],Another reason that organ cloning is a good idea is that we wouldn’t have to take organs from other people. When someone donates a lot of major organs and body parts it affects that person because they get weaker and they might even be in danger of dying because some their body parts help them stay alive. If we used organ cloning then people wouldn’t need to donate their body parts and it would be much safer because the body wouldn’t reject their organ as they would if it was someone else's organ. Organ cloning would be very helpful and this is why the federal government should fund it.

Conclusion ,[object Object],Organ Cloning should be funded by the federal government because it saves lives or can improve the quality of life, the patient would not have to take anti-rejection drugs, there would be less deaths and it is pluripotent. It would also help with the huge shortage of organs and tissue in the U.S.

[object Object],As shown in the graph above by 2003 there were over 83,700 people on the waiting list for organ transplants in the U.S.
