Genetics


            Imagine what life would be like if we could eliminate human problems. The question shakes us all to our very core. Genetics is slowly paving the road to this utopian vision. Genetics gives us the ability to manipulate DNA, Clone human beings, in short it gives us the power to be Gods. Although the road to this power has many bumps in it and the steps we must take and the morality of the whole idea are controversial; should we experiment on humans, are embryos people and where do you draw the line, when does it change from giving birth to a child to manufacturing a child.
             Probably one of the most debated topics in the scientific world today is cloning. Cloning is when you make an exact genetic copy of someone of something. Since 1997 when the first Sheep was cloned using adult cells people have been debating whether or not we should move forward with cloning. But there are many good reasons to why we should continue with mastering cloning. First of all you have to look at all the problems it would solve, for example last year only 6% of the people waiting for organs got them which means that 94% went without. Well through the process of cloning we could easily create all the organs that we needed which could save many lives. Also people have had to deal with losing a loved one (husband, daughter, etc) and there was nothing they could do. Cloning could be the answer to their problem, it may not change the fact that they lost their loved one but it does bring them back and gives people a way to get back at least a small part of what they lost and to some people that is a gift of infinite value. .
             We then lead to the many doubts and concerns that people have when they think about cloning. They were about issues like recreating Hitler, unfair burden of automatic expectations and it being used for malicious purposes. First of all recreating a person is impossible, you cannot control a persons personality just because you have the same genetic code, or else there would be no difference between identical twins.
