Blog 8

As I stated in my last blog I really have began to think plastic surgery is VERY similar to cloning. When you look at how much plastic surgery is trying to perfect humans; and how cloning could be the start to perfection. I don’t believe for one second that in anyway can cloning or anything else change a person on how they feel on the inside. Even with cloning, I think that the clones are still going to have some kind of personality where they could prevent any kind of perfection.


When looking at countries like China, even with strict rules, they still show how every single person, has a different look on things and how they choose to appear to others. I’m not saying that cloning and China is similar, all I’m saying is that even with dictatorship not everyone can be controlled completely down to the bone. Everyone breaks out in their own way. I think that cloning in the long run would not be in the best interest for us. My reason is because even with all the small insecurities that people have about themselves and future ones to come; that is what makes human beings so “perfect.” There is no such thing as perfection but you know what I believe with all the mistakes that anyone makes that is what makes them perfect.

Cloning VS Plastic Surgery

I feel that another way to best define the perfect society would be able to take a better look at who we are and how most people try to perfect themselves more and more. The common day person who just sees the normal magazines just sitting there when you go shopping and you always see the celebrities. Many later on when people are trying to clone perfection they will look at those who “some” believe perfection in a society just the way people look. I believe that cloning doing this would be a horrific idea because for those who try hard every day only get told that they are not pretty, beautiful, etc. I believe the perfect society that cloning could do is not so much focus on the outer appearance and see that perfection should be more on the inside. I think the perfect clone now should be someone who sees the imperfection of themselves, even though they are clones, and still be able to live their life to the fullest.


I also believe that cloning should not have to accomplish this though cloning. Why don’t we try to figure out how to perfect what, whom, and who we are going to be? Maybe this is too simple because human beings have a hard time when it comes to admitting what is wrong with us and try to fix it. Instead, some of us just look at ways to make us feel better and get acceptance from society; while we can’t even look inside of ourselves and fix it. But, no we feel we need to go out and please others instead of ourselves. So, what I am trying to say is that cloning is more like plastic surgery. My reason behind this is that those with imperfection problems try to fix it going the easy way, as some have said.

Part 6 to Cloning

The cloning perfection can only be best defined as the best genes being put in the perfect clone, like I stated in my last blog. I had mentioned the example of how Hitler had wanted only those who were blonde and blue eyes. Maybe when someone is cloning themselves or someone they would take the genes they believe to be perfect. They would continue to use those genes over and over from the DNA to believe to be the ultimate genes to creating that perfect human clone. This could help to better understand that those who think would help to create this “perfect clone.”


One thing I don’t fully understand is how cloning itself, can define those who are perfect or not. Why do we need perfection to be able to say you, I, and everyone else make mistakes in life that is truly how life works? What would be the point of trying to perfect something that just seems to not be going anywhere? One theory I have is that people are willing to do just about anything to prove to others that there is a way to create a perfect society. Just like in the early 18th century, when some French had believed that the perfect society could be easily achieved. I believe this is very close to the cloning perfection because either one is hard to accomplish with easy steps and planning. Nothing is perfect nor will it ever be. I also believe that we shouldn’t have to want this perfection, in the end it could be just as much as a disaster. Reason being this nothing good last forever or stays the same for long.
