Ethicist: Some would ban cloning on the grounds that clones would be subpeople, existing to indulge the vanity of their "originals." It is not illegal, however, to use one person as a vehicle for the ambitions of another. ████ ██████ ████ █████ ████████ ██ ███████ ██ █████████ ██ ██████████ ███ ██ ███ ████ ██ ████ ████ ████ ██ █ ████ ████ ██ ██ ██ █████████ ██ ███████ ██████ ████
Summarize Argument: Counter-Position
Other people argue that we should ban cloning because the clones would exist to indulge the vanity of the people from whom the clones are made. The author’s implicit conclusion is that this argument’s reasoning is flawed. The author supports this conclusion by showing that in other contexts that do not involve bans, people use others for their own selfish interests. Thus, the author implies, a ban on cloning can’t be justified merely because the clones are used by the original people.

The assertion that it is ███ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ██ █ ███████ ███ █████████ █████████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ██████████ ████████ ██ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ █████
a
It supports the ██████████ ████ ████ ███████ ████ ███ █████ █████████████ ██ ████ ██ ████ █████████ ██ ███████ █████ ██ █████
This misdescribes the author’s view. She never suggests that society doesn’t value individuality as much as opponents of cloning think it does.
b
It supports the ██████████ ████ ███████ ████████ ██ ██████ ████████ ███████ ██ ███ ██████████████
This misdescribes the author’s conclusion. The conclusion relates to the other people’s view that cloning should be banned. The conclusion does not concern forcing children to pursue academic success.
c
It is implied ██ ███ ██████████ ██████████ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ██████████
The referenced text is not an implication of the author’s belief. It’s support for that belief.
d
It supports the ██████████ ████ ████ ████████ █████ ███ ██████████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ██████ ██ █ ██████ ██ ███ ████████
This accurately describes the support role played by the referenced text.
e
It describes a █████ ████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██████ ██████ ██ ████████
The author doesn’t suggests the referenced line needs to be changed. The author accepts the truth of this line and uses it undermine the other people’s view concerning a ban on cloning.
