If you are cloned one day, in your opinion what will happen to you? Today we talk about the cloning. It has been one of the most popular issues these days. Some people think it is good to research on cloning because cloned people can be considered as substitute for original ones. However, I have some different opinion. I think cloning brings the society two problems.
Ethical
relationship is the biggest problem if someone is
cloned. Suppose that one man was cloned one day, so what is the relationship
between the original one and the cloned one? Are they brothers? Or are they
father and son? If I think deeply, what is the relationship between the man’s
wife with the cloned one? Are they pair bond? Oh, God! Everything is in a mess!
Even worse, if someday a person was cloned for many times just like what in “Star
Wars”, there might be wars between original people and cloned people due to
unavoidable contradiction.
In addition, some people insisted that if
people use cloning in organ transplantation, more people can get benefit from it.
On other hand, only if people kill some cloned baby, they can succeed in organ
transplantation. Here is the problem. Do people have the right to kill these
cloned babies? I think they do not. However, some people argue that these
cloned babies cannot be considered as real lives. So when can a baby be considered
as a life? I think this is a rather more difficult problem.
In summary, if people want to benefit from
cloning, they can take these two problems into account. Otherwise cloning is
still a dream, which cannot be realized.
Yes, clone may bring problems. But I think this is inevitable; with the development of technology, there will be more these kind of conflicts; perhaps this is the sadness of technology and science.
