Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met in my life is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa.   1   I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his   2   qualities. First of all, I respected his   3   to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he   4   what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an   5   way, introducing such aids to   6   as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he   7   sang a song in class in order to make a point clear.   8 , I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them   9   the telephone. Drinking coffee in the café, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would   10   a student to a game of chess.   11  , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of   12  : agriculture, diving and mathematics and so on. Many young people visited him in his office for   13   on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was   14   by his lively sense of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success   15  , during it, the students and the professor   16   at least one loud   17  . Through his sense of humor, he made learning more   18   and more lasting. If it is   19   that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry,   20   my friend is indeed a wise man.

Human Cloning Is Wrong

I’m sure many of you have seen Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Multiplicity, or many of the other movies that describe cloning. Most of what you see in these movies is false. What you don’t know is that cloning could be dangerous, to the clone and to our society as a whole. It’s immoral to have a human clone.

What about identity? Humans are promised the right to their own personality. What would happen if we ignore those rights by giving them someone else’s genetic identity? True, personality is not fixed in someone’s genes, but the clone would share any physical appearance or genetic fault of the cloned.

Also, there is a large power struggle here. Cloning means a degree of power and control over another person’s physical identity and that ignores their rights and their only personality. The person doing the cloning would have more power than any parent would have.

Cloning would also deal with killing embryos(胚胎). You might not have known, but Dolly, the sheep that was cloned in 1996, was one of over 200 sheep embryos and hers was the only embryo that survived. The rest died or were thrown away. Imagine if the failure rate was that high when we started to clone humans. More than 200 embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo that would have the same DNA as someone else.

Cloning someone, at this present time, would be extremely dangerous to the birth mother and the clone. In studies done on cows, 4 out of 12 birth mothers died. There is a very high failure rate, which is showed in the cloning of Dolly. Even if you had a few good embryos, failures have been noticeable in animal tests.

So, should we work ahead in the world of cloning? I say no. The risks are greater than the benefits. It’s dangerous to the clone and to the birth mother. We would be killing human lives in the process. It would also be a violation(侵害) of the clone’s right to its own genetic identity and personality.
