What are the other implications of cloning for society?(Para. 17 Discussion(讨论法): The author deals with the6 common puzzles by offering different opinions from different experts through the device of discussion Puzzle 1: Why would anyone want to clone a human being in the first place?(Para. 4) Discussion: Most experts consider the human cloning falls into two broad categories 1) parents clone a child to provide transplants for a dying child or to replace that child, and 2)adults might want to clone themselves. (Para. 5) Puzzle 2: Will it be possible to clone the dead?(Para. 6) Discussion: Perhaps, if the body is fresh, says one expert. The cloning method used by Wilmut's lab requires combining an egg cell with the nucleus of a cell containing the dna of the person to be cloned. And that means that the nucleus must be intact ells die and the cell nucleus begins to break apart after death. But, yes, in theory at least it might be possible. (Para. 7) Puzzle 3: Would a cloned human be identical to the original?(Para. 8) Discussion: Most of the physical differences between orig inals and copies are so minor that detection of them would require a sophisticated laboratory. The only possible exception is bearing children. Wilmut and his coworkers are not sure that Dolly will be able to have lambs. They will try to find out once she s old enough to Puzzle 4a: What if parents decided to clone a child in order to harvest organs?(Para Discussion: Most experts agree that it would be psychologically harmful if a child sensed he had been brought into the world simply as an organ donor. But some parents already produce second children with nonfatal transplants in mind, and many experts do not oppose this Cloning would increase the chances for a tissue match from 25 percent to nearly 100 percent.(Para. 12) Puzzle 4b: What if cloned animals could be used as organ donors?(Para. 13) Discussion:. But the human body attacks and destroys tissue from other species. To get around that, one company is try ing to alter the pigs genetic code to prevent pig organs from be ing attacked. If the companys technicians succeed, it may be more efficient to produce such pigs by cloning than by current methods. ( Para. 13) Puzzle 5: How would a human clone refer to the donor of its DNA? (Para. 14) Discussion:.Judith Martin, in her writings under the name of "Miss Manners suggests the phrase, Most honored sir or madam. Why? One should always respect one's ancestors, " she says, " regardless of what they did to bring one into the world he editorial director of one dictionary says that the noun"clonee"may sound like a good term, but it's not clear enough. Instead, he prefers"original"and copy".(Paras. 15-16) Puzzle 6: What are the other implications of cloning for society?(Para. 17) Discussion:. Specifically, some experts are concerned about the creation of a new (and disrespected )social class: the clones".
