In the novel Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, children are raised in a boarding school to become organ donors for society. The children eventually find out they are genetic clones created for the expressed purpose of providing another individual backup organs to prolong that individual’s life. Are cloned life forms the same as the original of the copy? Do they have the same rights and privileges of individuality if they are genetically identical to someone else? How might our own history with copied things influence our perceptions and interactions with clones?
Human cloning is a very complex task and to clone the exact same person is almost impossible.
we need live DNA of a human to clone another human from it, we cannot simply copy one's intelligence, character, brain and other characteristics of one human and transfer all of it into another just by cloning, it's totally a myth.
every individual has its own identity we cant just duplicate ourselves even by cloning a number of times, no matter how unique a individual could be. most frequently talked persoanlity the great scientist Albert einstein , we cannot clone another einstein who does everything just like the original one. also we cannot clone the member of house who is already dead, as it needs living DNA.
so, we cant clone life same as the original of the copy and they are genetically identical to someone.
though our discussion is beyond reality, as human cloning is far away from now. giving an explanation of an hypothetical case, that its right that cloned boadies must get the same rights and privileges as the original individual.
rules and regulations for the civilians is equal for every individual and as per the law, two different bodies cannot be considered the same person. in future if there is an era of cloning then there might be an upgradation in constitutional law , until then as per hypothetical argument clones and original copies of individuals should have same rights and priveleges as their counterparts.
