Through genetic engineering, transgenic organisms are created to improve upon nature ... , while genetic engineering is just a sophisticated way of doing something particularly ancient.

... to our society as a whole. It's wrong to have a human clone. What about identity? Humans are guaranteed the right to their own personality. What would happen if we overrode those rights by giving them someone else's genetic identity? True, personality is not enclosed in someone's genes, but the clone would share any physical appearance or genetic defect of the cloned. Also ... , there is a large power struggle here. Cloning involves a degree of power and control over another person's physical identity and that violates their rights and degrades their unique individuality. The person doin...
