  18. Social Issue Poem • Clones • by Edward Racey • Similar but not the sameexperience defines distinction.Man must not seek to duplicatejust one step closer to extinction.Why bite the hand that feeds you?Why smack the hands of creation? • Has time taught us nothing of life?We MUST fight the duplication.It is hard enough todayto find a definite identity.It would be impossible to find the truthif there were two or more of me.You have constructed the ladderbut now you have climbed too high.The strands of DNA beneath you shatterand now the pieces fall from the sky.Clones - Is this really me?

  20. Article quote #2 • “One argument against human cloning is the idea that it is morally wrong or undesirable to crate replicas of people-although a clone has the same gene set as the adult from which it is cloned-the resulting individual is not an identical copy, ether psychologically or physically.” McLachlan, Hugh. Lets legalize cloning, Reed business Information UK, 21 July 2007
