This weekend I heard on a national news summary on the radio mention of the equanimity with which identical twins are going to face the prospect of human cloning. That point sufficiently established, I'll go conceding to the other side for a bit; the notion of someone churning out millions of copies of himself is fairly prolific in the squeamishness department (though not, at least for me, any more than some people over reproducing in the traditional means, even with their genes diluted by half). This is the image that people worry about: not ordinary people producing two or three copies of themselves, but the creation of millions of superhuman clones prepared to do battle against all we hold dear. Maybe we should outlaw the cloning of superhumans. (Or the admission of impressionable people to science fiction movies.) |
