On the other hand, as we all know, if it is possible to clone an animal, it should technically be possible to clone a human. I am totally against this idea of having someone that looks like you and thinks like you or the idea of bringing people back from the dead like the rat, as I think that it would destroy our earth by overpopulating it and would mean that humans, in a way, would be immortal and that is very wrong because it would mess up the natural lifecycle. Even though I think that cloning an entire human body from scratch and artificially making new life is wrong, I don’t think that cloning body parts and organs to help or save people’s lives is such a bad idea. Unlike making new life, you are only trying to preserve the life that already exists or to make it easier for a person who doesn’t have an arm or a leg to live their life. This sort of thing like helping and saving lives is what I think that science should be all about, and even though there are things that man’s curiosity can’t help but investigate, I think that more time and attention should be spent on trying to save people.
One of the things that mans curiosity can’t help but explore is space. We have found out all about the planets and how our solar system works, however space scientists are always looking for new things to explore and new ways of wasting the governments money. They do things like sending robots to different planets to sample the soil and look for signs of life, and I always think to myself, so what! What I mean by this is even if they find a few dead microbes in the soil; it’s not really doing any good to anyone, because they are never going to find any aliens in this solar system. I think that maybe in the future; when man has the technology to travel to different solar systems, if there are any others, then we could have a chance to meet a civilisation of aliens, but unfortunately, that would never happen in our lifetime... not unless we get cloned.
Another thing that worries me is how lazy people are becoming due to modern technology and transport. Over the years, a variety of products have been invented and sold to the public which are made to make life easier for the customers. Things such as mobile phones, internet and email have changed the way that people work today. These things also make people lazy as they allow the person to work and manage life altogether while sitting on a chair and pressing a few buttons. I do thing that these new ways of learning and communicating are a good idea and could be useful, however, nowadays, people rely on these resources too much and places such as libraries are visited less often and the people that do use the libraries, often go there because they need to us the internet on a computer. Another example is office workers sending emails to each other because they can’t be bothered to get up and tell them the news. All this has not only made people lazy and unfit, but has caused people that spend too much time with these devices to get dumber as they lose valuable brain cells looking at the screen all the time
To conclude my essay, I would like to say that scientific technology and developments haven’t gone too far yet, however I think that there will be a day in the future where mans creation becomes smarter than man and could even take over the world. I know that in the present day, such a concept would sound silly, but at the rate that we are advancing, it wouldn’t be long before we humans start interfering with the laws of nature and taking control of it.
