The scientists are only trying to clone animals for now, but they are predicting by the year 2020 they will begin cloning humans. But until the scientists can suc- cessfully clone animals they have agreed to refrain from human cloning. Xu Xiaochun is the scientist that has been running the cloning facility and he said, “Unfortunately, currently the only way to have a child is to have it be half its mom, half its dad. But maybe in the future you will have three choices instead of one, you either have fifty-fifty, or you have a choice of having the genetics 100% from daddy or 100% from mommy. This is only a choice.” Xu later added that the factory could hold up to 5 million different cell samples. One of which is a wooly mammoth and it is in the process of being created by Xu’s partner, Sooam. The scientists can also bring your dead pets back to life for a whopping $100,000. That’s a large price to pay, but in regards to clon- ing perhaps the bigger question should be, “is cloning a human ethical? Should we be allowed to bring animals back from the dead? Or should we just let bygones be bygones?” We Bare Bears By: Krystal Jones We Bare Bears is a new comedy animated series on Cartoon Network. The show was created by Daniel Chong and first aired on July 27, 2015. We Bare Bears is about three brothers who are bears and their attempt to find their place in society. There is Grizzly, better known as Grizz, who is more or less the leader of the three brothers. Grizz is a fun loving and friendly grizzly bear. Next is Panda, who is a panda bear. Panda is a kind hearted, tech savvy, hopeless romantic who gets embarrassed easily. Panda enjoys blogging and watching anime. Finally there is Ice bear, a stoic polar bear of few words. Ice bear is a bear of many talents as he is multilingual, a skilled chef, and a mar- tial artist. Another main character in We Bare Bears is Chloe Park. Chloe is a Korean-American prodigy who has skipped grades and is now in college. Af- ter breaking into the bear’s cave Chloe ends up befriending the brother bears. We Bare Bears is a great new show to get into and enjoy. Page 3 The Paw Print 6629 FM 2004 Hitchcock, TX, 77563 Phone: 409-316-6544 Hours of Operation: 11:08 AM-12:00 PM Office Number:133 .
