He snapped back, “ Who cares what his name is? He always telling people my mother name Helen Lane!” Zakariyya stood, towering over me, yelling, “What he did was wrong! Dead wrong. You leave that stuff up to God. People say maybe them taking her cells and makin them live forever to create medicines was what God wanted. But I don’t think so. If He wants to provide a disease cure, He’d provide a cure of his own, it’s not for man to tamper with. And you don’t lie and clone people behind their backs. That’s so wrong- it’s one of the most violating parts of this whole thing. It’s like me walking up to your bathroom while you in there with your pants down. It’s the highest degree of disrespect. That’s why I say I hope he burns in hell. If he were here right now, I’d kill him dead (Skloot 246).
I like this paragraph because it raises the question about the controversy around cloning. In Zakariyya’s opinion, man should not be tempering with God’s will. I am not so sure about that. Make no mistake, I am not sure about cloning a whole person, but the benefits of cloning tissues and organs are unimaginable. One that stands out in my mind is that people that need transplant will be able to live the rest of their life with more normalcy that they the ones who have transplanted organs do now – they need to take many different drugs so their bodies don’t reject the new organ. My own personal opinion is that more good than harm will come from cloning and stem cell researches. What do you think?
