What would happen if there were human clones?While-speaking: What are your opinions of making doubles? Cloning: Having “doubles” or notSuggested ideas:1: I think it would be great to have a double because I could use the double to do the things I dont enjoy, for example, going to school, doing homework and taking exams. Having a double would also be good because I can do two things at a time， so that I can work more efficiently.2: But we think having a double might be dangerous because we dont know what the double might do. For example, the double might cheat people out of their money. As a result I will have to be punished because of him.3: No, I dont think so. I would like to have a double, because I dont have time to do all the things Id like to do, for example, cooking meals and having meetings. Having a double would be wonderful because we could have more time to do things I like best.4: However, having doubles would make people confused, because no one would know who the double really was or how to treat it. For example, the double wouldnt have any parents and relatives. It would be bad for society if people had troubles, because it would be very difficult to make it clear who was to blame for the very trouble.
