- three types of cloning:
• gene cloning
• reproductive cloning 
• therapeutic cloning 

- chances:
• reproduction of anything biological 
•could improve organ donation: no lack of organs
• rotting out diseases
• easy creation of fitting organs or stem cells
-> saving more lives

- risks:
•to what extend reasonable?
• question of identity 
• fear of "industrialization " -> loss of individuality/dignity
• clones might suffer -> high mortality rate
• creating superior human beings -> destroying natural order

- Is a clone even human?
To be considered a human:
• identity and uniqueness
• soul/feelings, conscience 
• bound to certain rights ]]> 2021-02-17 08:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alinatammaeus/fufc3ui85yabveaz/wish/1210227498 alinatammaeus https://padlet.com/alinatammaeus/fufc3ui85yabveaz/wish/1210426630 *Dystopia vs Utopia
