Is Cloning a Good Option?

                                              Is Cloning a Good Option?

Last Wednesday web watched a film about a woman that lost her husband in a car accident. It was very devastating for her to realize that her husband was never going to come back. She fell into a depression for a couple of days, until one of her friends signed her up for a program where she was able to chat with her husband in a virtual way. Doing this brought hope to her, because she felt as if her husband was still alive. As the days passed she grew closer to the virtual image to a point where she stopped interacting with her family members. Then, something interesting happened; there was a next level to the program, a clone. She bought a clone that included the conversations that she had with the posterior virtual image. At first it was very exciting for her to be able to see her husband again. She could talk to him without the requirement of a computer. However, the clone only had memories from the time she talked to the virtual computer. Other than that it was as if she was interacting with a stranger. There were no memories involved. Eventually this began to concern her, especially because she was pregnant. She did not want her daughter to grow up knowing her dad as a computer with no feelings or emotions. So she decided to keep him in the basement for the rest of his life. Every now and then she allowed, the little girl to visit the clone, but she never knew it was the image of her dad. After the movie I felt sympathetic to the woman, because all she wanted was her husband back at any price. However, it was not healthy for her to keep been attached to someone that was already gone. Instead, she should have remarried and begin a new life. Overall, it was a good film that showed the effect that technology can have over humans.
