This weeks contemporary issue made me apply the Taoist beliefs specifically. Taoism would especially not be down with the whole idea of cloning. Cloning is completely unnatural and considering Taoism is based off of nature itself, it is against this whole notion of cloning and I agree. Cloning opens the door for people to use other people (clones/themselves) as tools for their own selfish desires. For example, if there is a man of Hitler's demeanor during the time of cloning, there's a high chance there could be an army of clones that try valiantly to eradicate the world of Jewish people, again. Furthermore, to use Clones to extend one's life by taking their organs devalues life and its quality because the possibility of death is what makes humans want to live in the moment and enjoy it.
I agree with Kass because of what cloning would do to families across the world. People wouldn't need the benevolent experience of child birth instead they could just grow another one of themselves casually. Personally having a mother and father has shaped a large part of my personality for the better and it would suck to live in a generation where this method of raising kids was vanquished due to cloning.
