LETTER
Dear Esteban,
I hope you are good. I am writing to say that I have a concern about your company's
recent cloning attempt involving a dog. I understand that it is important to have
scientific advances and develop new things, but it is important to take into account the
ethics associated with your project.

The attempted cloning of the dog Milo has given rise to much concern regarding the
ethics of this, especially in relation to his illness. It is important to know that scientific
advances must be accompanied by an ethical commitment and the well-being of the
living beings involved in these experiments.

The ethical principles in future cloning efforts that should be taken into account should
be:
1. Transparency: Provide clear and complete information about the risks and
consequences that may arise.
2. Animal welfare: Keep in mind that the most important thing should be the welfare of
the cloned animals and not cause them unnecessary suffering.
3. Purpose: Have a clear purpose and make sure it adheres to ethical standards.

By taking these principles into account, your company could continue its scientific
advancement while maintaining ethical standards for research. Ethical commitment will
not only benefit the reputation of the organization but will also give confidence in the
field of cloning research.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope that future research prioritizes
ethical considerations and contributes positively to the scientific community.

Sincerely, Daniela Vargas
