fibrosis. Cloning of animals and human body parts for research will hopefully soon lead to many new cures and saving of lives. According to scientists at the University of Hawaii, three generations of mice have been produced indicating that cloning will be an indispensable tool to the research biologist.In a survey on March 10, 1997, in Time magazine, 74% of those asked believe its against Gods will to clone humans (Masci 411). In a recent interview with Lee Silver, a biologist at Princeton University, he was asked about his most controversial claim: Will genetic engineering ultimately lead to two or more human species that would not be able to interbreed? His response was, I believe this could happen because engineering of embryos is inevitable. I can see ways in which genetic engineering will be made safe and efficient, and there will be a market for it- Parents who want their children to have advantages in life (Stoller 3). Is that what anyone wants? Identical twins are the best clones, and the only ones that are going to be legally allowed in the United States. Cloning human should remain science fiction and continue to be made into good movies, and be outlawed. The definition of life is very strong: the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body. Sure a clone would be living, but as someone else. Cloning would ruin the definition of an individual life. They would have an identity crisis, not being defined as a real human being. Each person is unique, whether its their looks, personality, character, or the way they tie their shoes. Dolly was only referred to Dolly for the public to suggest an individual, or at least a pet or a doll, not for the scientific article (in which shes referred to as 6LL3) (Masci 423). A clone would have no real parents which would be worse on a child than being adoptive with that thought always in the back of their mind about who their real mother was. In most ...
