I just saw that they are coming out with a new television show on human cloning. This is a subject I find a bit troubling. We all have been made aware that they can already clone sheep. Many scientists have been able to clone animals for a while and for all we know the meat we are eating has already been cloned. Genetically altering things seems to me to be a dangerous solution to the problems of today. It is a bit like playing God. In this day and age, where people are so readily giving up their DNA, who would know if the government is cloning them right now? The government may already have stored more people's DNA than we are actually even aware of. Think about it, most people are born in hospitals, and they immediately take some of your blood to perform a few tests with. What if they are storing everyone's DNA while they are doing this? The government has full control over the hospitals and could be doing this without our consent or knowledge.

I find it a difficult concept that they could be cloning each of us and putting another of us out into the universe, but would we even know? Probably not. People lately seem to me to already seem to be slightly genetically altered; some seem to function at a lesser capacity than others. With the decline of the human race as it is with a lack of morals and knowledge, do we really want to start putting 2 of these people out into the world? I would think that one less than normal person would be enough.

I know that we need advancements in science and medicine, but it seems to me that all scientists really want to do is explain the unexplainable and play God. In my life, I have accepted that I don't understand the bigger plans for the universe, and I don't always know God's plan, but I do not try to second guess it or figure it out. As a human being, I accept the fact that not every question has an obvious answer and I am okay with this. Maybe because I am not the type of person who needs to know how things work, just that they work or don't. It sounds like a really simple view, but I don't think that science has the answer for everything, and even in medicine, I don't think that they always make the right choice. I think that they feed off of our own personal fear of dying and use that as an excuse to find ways to save people. For instance, is it really in God's plan to have babies that were created in test tubes, or babies that are born 6 months prematurely to be saved in a box for a year, before they can even breathe on their own? What has happened to the natural selection and survival of the fittest? Not only is science keeping little babies alive, but what about the elderly? How long should we keep an older person alive and for what purpose? I am just not sure on these questions. I think medicine, science, and technology have a place, but I am not sure that they are not taking things too far.
