Show summary

Geneticist: Ethicists have fears, many of them reasonable, about the prospect of cloning human beings, that is, producing exact genetic duplicates. ███ ███ ████████████ █████ ██ █ ███████ ██████ ████████ ██ ████ ██ █████ ██████████ ██ ██████████ ████████████ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ █████████ █ █████████ ███████ ████ █████ █████ ███████ ██████ █████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██ ████████ ████████████ ██ ██████ ████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████████ ████ ███████ ███████████ █████ ███ ██████ ██ ██████ ██████ ███████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The geneticist concludes that the “horror-movie image” of human cloning producing an army of duplicates for wealthy people is an unrealistic fear. To support this, she says that the long-term process of raising and educating clones would mean that adults produced by cloning would not have identical goals, outlook, or personality, so an “army of exact duplicates” could not be produced. Then, the geneticist raises another, more realistic, outcome: using clones as living “organ banks.”
