COLONING

ions", states Kevles (133). In her article, Goodman mentions "The bulletin about Dolly and the five Xeroxes[]received the same public whine of outrage that follows other great scientific surprises that blindside us with anxiety" (134). It is thus clear that both Goodman and Kevles find their first agreement to be the rage and the discomfort people express towards new scientific innovations.Furthermore, their next point of agreement comes as the issues of genetic and environmental contributions to a human being unravel. Both Kevles and Goodman agree to the fact that humans are "products of environments" as well as they are "products of genes" (Kevles 133; Goodman 135). Goodman explains further that people are not "just conceived" but also "raised" (p135). Also, they both agree on the fact that a human clone may not necessarily grow up to have the same personality, character, and achievements as the "clonee" had. "Today as Einstein clone might grow up to be Steven Spielberg," says Kevles (133). Goodman states that with "everything being relative", today a clone of our favorite genius, Albert Einstein, could very well grow up to "find modern physics dull" (135). From the above discussion of the two articles, we can see the kind of controversy humanity has to deal with today. There are many people who follow Kevles footsteps in arguing that cloning of animals and humans could be very beneficial in the future. However, there are as many people that follow Ellen Goodman, opposing Kevles' opinion, and finding little good in the "Valley of the Dollys" (135). Today, even at this stage of our scientific advances, we can only wonder as to what will really happen as the future unfolds....
