In the article “Pros of cloning”, it explained some bright sides of this new technology. Basically the article is talking about three advantages of cloning. First of all, Experience gained in cloning may add to our understanding of genetics and lead to the creation of animal’s organs which have been genetically altered so that they can be transplanted to humans. Second, cloning could produce a reservoir of "spare parts". Third, cloning could treat damage for brain or nervous system. The quote I would quote is “This (cloning) would supply limitless number of organs so that people would not die while on the waiting list for the few available human organs” (Jeddy, 1). What he is saying is that scientists could clone an organ or any part of a human being and save it for later use. This is sort of similar to the Dollhouse. What the Dollhouse does is to clone other people’s personalities, skills and memories, after that, the programmer—Topher restored them and every time the dolls are assigned a mission, he would use those copies or combine them to create a new one. In the first episode of Dollhouse, Echo was programmed into a good negotiator and Sierra became a fighter. Both of them got cloned some skills and completed the mission perfectly. What cloning could help people is its possibility to save people’s life in time. Imagine when a patient needs an organ to be translated right away and there is not any that could match up. This would not be a problem if cloning could be used.
everything has two sides.
ReplyDeleteI like my life that have technologies in it. I cannot image that one day I live without computer and internet.
You have a great connect between the Dollhouse and your second resources. I like it~~
