Then again, growth in technology hasn't always lead to favorable outcomes. We could say that chemical warfare, nuclear bombs, and heroin are all terrible mutations of helpful technological advances. However I tend to believe that these terrible side effects are weak when compared to the beneficial cures for diseases, worldwide communications, and the upholding of democracy. The argument against cloning research is that once the technology goes public, cloning humans is sure to follow. Our natural human tendency towards order and uniqueness would keep that from happening.

Aren't we intelligent enough and aware enough in today's day and age to be objective in this debate and stop underestimating ourselves. Let's give ourselves more credit than that.

When a humans heart stops beating in a hospital, doctors and nurses are trained to use a machine that jolts the body with a surge of electricity, hopefully re-starting the heart.
