I. Basics
1. Describe your problem in one sentence as you would to a bored person at a party.
Cloned meat continues to be in the market of the United States.
2. What are some aspects of your problem that you are still struggling to understand and/or
formulate an argument about?
I am still struggling to understand how the practice of Animal cloning is not considered to be
animal cruelty.
II. Models
Have you run across any articles that seem like they are doing what you want to be doing in the
HCP? Particular strategies that you want to adopt from Rudys book or anything else youve
been reading? (Your models need not be about your topic.)
If you dont feel that you have any models, it may be time to stop and think about how youre
imagining this paper. Research with an eye out for models.
I still havent encountered a Model for my HPC
III. Multimodality
1. What medium or media besides text are you planning to use?
I have found some visuals that project the damage that cloning performs on animals . I have also
come across some videos online that include extensive debate over this topic

2. How will the inclusion of these visuals, videos, and/or sound recordings help you engage your
audience and convey your argument?
I will use the visuals to show the reader the consequences of failed cloning. I will use the videos
to give the reader example of counter argument that have appearedthrough the topic of Ani mal
cloning
IV. Sources

Include a list of primary and secondary sources you already know you will be using, in
alphabetical order, with MLA citations and source evaluations. Include the sources you posted
about last week and any others youve found since. Your evaluations should be more complete
at this point, so you may want to add to and refine any evaluations that you drafted up for articles
you hadnt quite read yet last week.

published. This has information regarding the past position the FDA has taken in the debate
between animal cloning and its involvement in the cloning meat market.

V. Introduction
Please include a draft of an introduction for your HCP. Note: Introductions for this paper can be
longer than one paragraph.
On July 5th 1996 the first clone was successfully developed. This cloned was a sheep by the
name of dolly from the time of its birth this clone brought attention from the media and society
on what ways we can use this new method reproduction to better the people. The distribution of
cloned meat was banned due to the fear of the effect that it will have on the consumers. In 2008,
after extensive research, the FDA concluded that there was no harmful risk to the consumers if

they ingested meat that came from a cloned animal. This research was enough evidence to allow
the Cloned meat to be involved in the meat market without having to label their products as
cloned meat. Since then there case been outrage in the communities that have been almost forced
to settle for cloned meat. The FDA has come to the conclusion that the ingestion of cloned meat
is relatively safe but it does not mean that it is justified. Cloning animals is a very risky practice
that involves the death of several clones that fail to develop properly and are often times born
with syndromes. Society will not feel the same towards animal cloning if they knew the truth of
what exactly an animal is put through in the process of developing a successful clone.
