For example, scientists want to genetically modify agriculturally important animals so that they can pollute less, grow faster, and produce higher quality meat or milk (Levine 165) . They also hope to turn animals into organic factories, capable of producing medicines and other products at a lower cost than traditional production (Levine 168). Cloning can also be used to help strengthen food supplies around the world. Researchers have succeeded in cloning disease-resistant crops and livestock. Plant cloning has created many benefits for the agricultural sector. For example, cloned plants are more predictable and yields are more reliable. They are also able to create pesticide-resistant plants that save the agricultural industry millions of dollars (Levine 166). As for human cloning, scientists want to use cloning technology to be able to understand diseases
