My Position Paper

"One is One and All Alone" by Nicholas Fisk

Thesis Statement :
Cloning brings more harm to us especially on the moral issues.

     Let's me talk about the story, Trish is on her father's spaceship going to Planet Trion to study the existence of life and to meet her mother.  She gets really bored in the long journey and decides to make a clone of herself. At first, everything goes smoothly until her clone 'Clo' starts to imitate everything she does and also tries to get Trish's father's attention all to herself.  Then, Trish tries to get rid of Clo when in the end it is Trish herself who gets dumped from the spaceship through the disposal hatch.     
     
     It is safe to say that cloning is like the 'Copy' and 'Paste' techniques we often use in typing.  It copies the source's genes completely.  That's why we find Clo imitates Trish every word and action.  At first, they find it funny, but at last they find it irritating and causes them to argue a lot.  In reality, we live in a community where everyone communicate and react towards each other.  Imagine if everybody imitates each other and then gets into quarrels or arguments which in the end would lead to more physical, abusive or harmful actions. I can't think of other but immoral individuals doing immoral activities.

     Clones thinks alike.  Trish thinks of 'killing'.  Clo, and so does Clo.  Who acts firsts, gets it.  In the end, it was Trish who gets disposed off the spaceship.  So pity!  A happy family is separated in such inhumane way.  As everybody knows it, killing to all religion is a sin and thus morally it is not acceptable by all.

     As a conclusion, I believe cloning brings forth a lot of immorality to the society.  Every living and non-living things is God's creation.  He has crafted ways for living things to breed and I am sure cloning is not one of it.
