"Of Headless Mice..and Men"

The creation of technology has not just helped the economy to explode with ideas but have a lot harmed society in such dramatic ways. One idea that has been lingering in the minds of scientists is cloning and recreating human life. The idea behind this all sends chills down my spine. Why are we trying to prolong life when we can't even control the few lives that walk the plant today. Incubating tiny infant organs to grow into larger ones that adults could use and creating artificial wombs is a scary theory. It will not be long before these technical barriers are breached. Man kinds trying its hardest to find cures for everything but I do not agree in cloning and building a human with no mind of its own just to use it for certain organs. Now the idea behind creating single organs sounds more sensible. The idea of creating a life that has no thought or choice of its own is completely wrong. Charles Krauthammer opened my eyes up to something I had no clue was orbiting the minds of society. University's around the nation are putting much effort into this new study hoping to change the lives of many. The cost behind this all is way to steep for the average Joe who may be in need of help. One family spent over 100,000 in cloning there pet. Imagine how much cloning an entire human body would cost a class C citizens. The idea of cloning a headless human is not "normal". The thought behind this headless clone was to initially keep your living personality or consciousness going indefinitely. This goes beyond all of my believes. The clone will duplicate only the physical attributes of you. Basically your twin minus the emotional add one's. Human cloning should be completely banned before a huge mistake is made and can never be retrieved.
As Charles Krauthammer stated..."If we flinch in the face of the high-tech barbarity, we'll deserve to live in the hell of heralds."
