My topic is the perils of cloning. I am using
Kazou Ishiguro's novel “Never Let Me Go", a book which I borrowed from the
library. This is a fictional novel about special and gifted children who were
reared and brought up for a sole purpose of “donating". Yes! Donating! These
children were clones and the reason they were brought up was to
donate their organs. The main setting of this story was in Hailsham, which a
dormitory school. One of the main characters was Kath a resident/student in Hailsham
who in the story narrates all about their childhood experiences and as it goes
by a scary secret reveals.
This novel is very interesting;
there is a twist of science and humanism in it. This will help me with my research paper about
perils of cloning. It address about
clones that just live like normal people. As I read the novel this question came
in my mind, will cloning be consider as beneficial to mankind or its ethical
perils will outweigh it? My research thesis will be base on this question.
I will Ray Kurzweil’s “The Singularity Is Near”
to support my research about the benefits of cloning to humans. This is a book that
can be read in the course pack. Kurweil is a techno romanticist who believes
that cloning is one of the answers to everything.
