I would choose to be the first one to be cloned. In that case, there would be no limit to my enjoyment of life. While my clone would be in charge of whatever I dislike but have to do, such as homework and washing, I would be free to do whatever I take to, like traveling or playing video games. I would also tell him to make an appointment with my blind date while I would act as an onlooker.

But for me, a clone of my self would bring a lot of trouble to my life. For one thing, he would deprive me of personal experience with life, which is of much help to my growth. For another, he would rob me of my intimacy with my beloved if he would take care of their life instead of me. And worst of all, he would reflect upon me once he would do something awful. So that is the last thing for me to do. Back
BOOK 3
Unit 8Presentation
Cloning must be exploited in a limited
way. On the one hand, a fuller play
should be given to its potentials which
can bring benefits or profits to human
society or help provide ways to ensure a
better survival for human lives. For
example, cloning can help scientists
produce copy cows that make medicines
in their milk.

Unit 8Presentation
On the other hand, a complete ban must be imposed on the reproduction of the human beings who are made for fostering hostility toward human society or serving as humanity killing machines under the sway of terrorists. Once such a ban would be lifted for those ready to be deadly enemy to human societies, human cloning would work for our own destruction.
