When the cloning of living beings first began in 1997 I was 10 years old. I remember they were cloning a sheep named Dolly. It seemed like everyday there was something about these sheep in the news. Even though I was only 10 and some people think 10 year olds can't think in advanced ways, I used to have discussions with my mother and brother about cloning all the time. I wondered if cloning was like having a twin, I wondered if because it's cloned on the outside does it mean the organs are cloned on the inside and do they function properly, I wanted to know how the reproduction would work and I wanted to know how long would clones last. As quickly and suddenly as Dolly became famous she disappeared from the news and so did her clones.

What I also wondered was since they cloned a sheep would they start to try and clone human beings. That was a scary thought to me because people like Hitler could be cloned again from DNA and what would happen to the world? I remember talking to my mother about that and she told me I worry too much for a kid but I know somebody somewhere was thinking like me. I also didn't get, and still don't get, the point in cloning. From a religious point of view, (my mother and grandmother would always talk about God and his work), I believed that cloning was going against God's will. Man and woman were put here to procreate but if cloning is possible, the idea of procreation can be destroyed. Then everything else will crumble, like marriage and "normal" families. Of course I was 10 and probably 11 so I didn't know all of the years and work it takes to clone. I wonder if people still think about cloning and are there humans being cloned secretly somewhere in a lab.
