Hello
So we were discussing in a genetics lab the other day...okay, more like arguing! Is it right to clone people? In biochemistry, people clone animals. It's become a natural habit to make exact copies of animals, like diary cows for example, so as to increase the yield or milk produced. This is based on a particular trait they have in their genes, like being capable of producing this many litres of milk per day or something. Now what if it were done on people? Let's say your beloved is killed by a freak accident or an illness...your child or your spouse? The good people in the world like Nelson Mandela or Albert Einstein? Would it be right to make exact copies of them? I mean, it is possible to do so.
You want to know what I think? You can clone someone, be it your child or what not, after they die; but you'll never actually get them back. You can engineer the same person genetically, and they'll come back exactly the same- image wise- but they'll never be that person you're trying to imitate; be it personality and behaviour. Another thing, it's morally wrong to try and clone a person, it's so unnatural and there's no purpose for it!
So, what'd you think?
Hmmm, that's a tough one! All I think I know is that if my child were to die and I could clone her, I would consider it.
