/^t/Although I treated this aspect of cloning in a rather humorous way, its another connotation is not that amusing. Man has been entangled in age-old dream to improve biological and mental nature of man. However, this improvement frightens even the most optimistic. This enterprise promoted under a pompous shield of helping humanity at braking through commonplace echoes with its double morality. Everyone is perfect from the biological point of view and artificial enhancement of positive elements may cause inadevrtable changes not only in human organism but also in human psyche. What ethics questions is the operation on the individual who deprived of his own self is mutated into apparently "perfect" organism. His construction of genes is violated and replaced by an artificial set of new ones. The scientists claim that this is the best way of relieving our society of individuals of "average" capacity, to condition higher form of existence, but actually something more is hidden there, which partakes of insanity and badly understood perfect harmony. Through cloning it is possible to outmanouvre the nature, to control the populace and eventually to create machine like. It is thus not difficult to gather from those points that cloning does not only mean alternation within human body or the natural condition of human sort but mainly the shift of hirarchy of values through designing easy to controll earsats of individuals. Fortunately our century has not been witnessing so advanced manipulation of genes and that cloning particulary refers to innocent alternation within "consumption products" and future distopian vision of humanity. Although this vision is merely based on prediction one must bear in mind that there is only one little step from cloning bananas to cloning a man. Hence we must ensure ourselves against the nightmare of the forthcoming century by rulling out the manipulation of genes and accepting the nature of man developed over the millenniums.
