MODEL2   Do you think the cloning of humans

            should be forbidden by law?

Script

Susan: After the cloning of Dolly the sheep, I think human cloning is next.

John: Whoa. I have some reservations about it. There are stll many scientific problems 

     to solve before human cloning starts.

Susan: There’s an easier way. The Clonaid Company says they’ve cloned humans.

John: Oh, my God! These guys claim aliens from another planet taught them human

cloning.

Susan: A woman gave them half a million dollars to clone her dead daughter.

John: Clearly that woman doesn’t know much about cloning. How risky 1 it is!

Susan: I know it’s inefficient 2. It took 276 tries to produce Dolly. But why is it risky?

John: Cloned animals grow abnormally large and age unnaturally 3 fast.

Susan: In other words, that woman may not be happy with her cloned daughter.

John: Then there are the emotions. No one knows if cloning damages the mind.

Susan: Do you think the cloning of humans should be forbidden by law?

John: To my mind, the cloning of human organs shouldn’t be prohabited. It may help 

     solve medical problems.

Susan: I see your point: cloning should be regulated if it’s to benefit humanity.
