What possibilities does cloning create? Imagine, "a Babe Ruth clone [with]...the same genes as the original home-run king" and a clone of Madame Curie would have the same genes as the woman who discovered radium (Schwartz 529).


This is not plagiarism This is plagiarism


 
Original Source Material:

A clone is a creature having exactly the same genes as its immediate ancestor. A clone of Albert Einstein would have the same genes and therefore the same potential as the discoverer of relativity.

A Babe Ruth clone would have the same genes as the original home-run king. And a clone of Madame Curie would have the same genes as the woman who discovered radium. These outstanding people are all dead, so they cannot be cloned.

But there are geniuses alive today, and more will be born in the years ahead.

The thought will undoubtedly occur to people in the future that to let geniuses die is a waste of resources.
