Cloning


In John Terry's article, a strange foreseeing of what to come of cloning is examined. Basically, humans are soon to be cloned, but probably not in the United States. Asia offers researchers new labs, fewer restrictions and a different view of divinity and the afterlife.In South Korea, when Hwang Woo Suk reported creating human embryonic stem cells through cloning, he did not apologize for offending religious taboos. He justified cloning by citing his Buddhist belief in recycling life through reincarnation.Most of southern and eastern Asia displays relatively little opposition to either cloned embryonic stem-cell research or genetically modified crops.

I'm not too interested in this whole cloning ordeal but I'm running out of topics, so this was one of the few controversies left. It just seems strange...are the clones going to be complete human beings with emotions and intellect or are they solely going to be cloning organs in need? I don't want to be living "The Island" if you know what I'm saying. We can't just create human beings and kill them for their livers so that alcoholics can live. Population control people. We can't afford the people we have living on this world today...we don't need twice as many. Mo people, mo problems.
