南宁市2014高考英语一轮（暑假） 阅读理解训练（10）及答案阅读理解主旨大意passage* (重庆联合诊断卷) science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning (克隆)has now become a reality. the possibility of cioning humans is a serious issue and raises ethical (伦理的) questions. in my opinion, cloning is useful for research imo cures for disease. however, i think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments. research into cloning and stem cell (肝细胞) production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incura- ble illnesses. while this would improve the quality of life for many, not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future. this is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world. further- more, it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications resulting from malformed (畸形的) organs. there are also quite serious ethical issues in danger. in essence, those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play god and to interfere with natural processes. producing embryos ()for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced. it may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.a conclusion i do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. this is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. however, i do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it. 1. what is the writers general opinion on cloning ?
