The Disasters Of Cloning


            
             It's amazing how advanced our science and technology has developed over the years. Who would have thought that the creative mind of an intelligent author could actually bring truth to a far-fetched concept? In 1932, Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World introduced the phenomenon of human beings brought to life, not within a mother's womb, but in sanitized laboratories. They were genetically engineered and brought into existence by test tubes and controlled fertilization, today, known as cloning. .
             How did this "New World" inspired science become apart of our lives? Well, it all started in 1997 when a miracle arose in the scientific world of biotechnology. Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned. People gawked in awe at this new revolution and were blown away by the power of mankind. However, in 1998, as science and technology increased, so did the desire to move forward in the cloning miracles. Scientists were so moved by the success in Dolly, that the talk of cloning humans swept the world.
             All of a sudden those who were amazed at Dolly's marvel were disgusted and completely against the altering of human reproduction. I came across an article by the "United Press International" where they interviewed a Scottish embryologist named Dr. Ian Wilmut. He told the Press "that the sheep embryos being cloned at the Rocklin Institute in Scotland are providing healthy cloned proteins to treat sheep with hemophilia." Hemophilia is a rare disorder where excessive bleeding occurs from minor injuries. .
             The argument of many scientists around the world is that they"re research is helping and even saving lives of animals. They want to continue their studies in order to reach out and help humans as well. They feel that cloning human beings isn't a monstrous act, but a way to help cure the suffering of the ill. .
             Now, this doesn't seem so bad does it? I can definitely agree with those good-hearted goals, yet that's just what's being said now.
