~ There's the debate over who owns the genes once they're in the library. Also if they're human genes does the person have the right to know what's going on with their genes.
~ Is it okay to patent these libraries?
~ Is consent necessary for research? (Can doctors draw blood for tests and send it to a lab for research?

Cons
Pro & Con
Pros
~Because there are introns included in this DNA, it is very unlikely to have an entire exon on one cloning region.
~ The fact that it contains introns can be a pain.
~ Scientists have to remove the introns before their research can begin.
~ Most eukaryotic organisms have large genomes, which makes it difficult to find your gene of interest.
~The fact that a library is usually a relatively large size can be considered a pro and a con. The bad part is having to go through and remove the introns. It's nice to have a large piece of DNA because you have so much to work with. You can use bacteria that contain that same vector to do multiple tests for research, and use a new gene each time.
~ The libraries contain a high percentage of recombinant DNA.
~ Each library has a large number of primary clones, which allows for better coverage of the whole genome.
~ There's not much difficulty in constructing a library. The steps are considered to be pretty easy.
~ They're useful when it comes to sequencing genomes.
