The thing few want to say openly to the general population, but I will say, is that cloning and other scientific capabilities now, and yet to be, developed were, and are, meant to be discoverable and used by evolutionarily advance beings in order that they might survive. It is the first step in Transhumanism, where the human species advances to the next quantum stage in evolution. The design of life includes the key to immortality. It takes work and survival to reach. This is normal.
People fear it understandably.
I embrace it. It holds the start of all the potential waiting after getting beyond the animal-only stage in our evolution. Highly advanced as we are, we are therefore poised at the threshold of being able to use all of the materials of the universe to continue to evolve. It is up to us to go forward as our ancestors went, and we go, forward on the oceans and in the air and into space. This is why it is especially worth living.
