I was so impressed by the movie called “The Island”. There are many organizations and religious groups which do not agree with producing human clones because they think it is not moral. This topic also caused quite controversy a few years ago, and was even represented on the Hollywood movie “AI”. Actually, cloning may become a reality in the near future because scientists have already created animals. I think it gives people some clues, and also might affect the value of humans.
In “The Island” people spend money, donate their DNA to form people identical in appearance and physical structure. In order to prolong their lives or become immortal, these sponsors have authority to take away clone’s organs they get sick and need new organs to survive. Actually, these clones are not vegetable. They have blood, thought, feeling, passion and discretion. They are not puppies to be manipulated by another human’s hand.
After watching this movie, I had the strong same opinion and stood by with these people who do not agree with cloning. However, there is a little bit of a dilemma. We could not completely stop and deny the development of science for this society when we only see a black smudge because every invention or discovery must has its positive and negative side effects. For example, the Internet makes everything easy, such as searching for information, buying stuff, making friends and shortening the distance from one place to another through video conferencing. However, some people use this invention to do something bad, such as spreading viruses, fishing for other peoples’ credit numbers and so on. It depends on how human look at and use these benefits – and if they do it with a moral heart.

That looks like the southern tip of Phuket, Thailand.
