“Critical"Thinking"Blog"Post"#6”

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.
