Dolly's False Legacy by Ian Wilmut
Cloning have been a highly debate controversial issue among the politics and common people for many years now. Despite all the positive outcomes cloning can help the human race, there are still many negative setbacks and consequences to consider. In the article “Dolly’s False Legacy”, Ian Wilmut discusses all the questionable issues surrounding cloning.
Although there have been successful cases in cloning experimental animals, it does not give a full reassurance to whether human cloning will be successful. I agree with Wilmut that cloning may bring new hopes to human race, but it is easy to overlook all the negative or aftermath effects that cloning may cause. As Wilmut explains, cloning is simply copying the genes of adults to form an “identical twin of the original”.
In the article, Wilmut questions all the reasons for why people wish to clone an identical human being. I believe Wilmut raises the questions that people who are too caught up in the excitement of cloning would overlook. The questions bring the issue back into reality allowing people to think carefully about the controversy.
Overall, Wilmut sets up the article by addressing the reasons why certain people like the idea of cloning, then attacks each reason stating the overlooked questions regarding it. Although I agree with Wilmut that cloning may be a big contribution to the field of medicine in the future, I do not believe cloning should continued to be specialized. I believe cloning will distort the human cycle and environment. It can also be dangerous to the human race if misused. Thus, I believe human race should just be content about the way life is now rather than trying to change it for our own selfishness.
