As I See It by Christine Stromberg - HTML preview

Cloned

A part of you or all of you?

That's what most people wonder.

In your image through and through?

Will it be a dreadful blunder?

Your genes, your chromosomes, it's true -

but not your mind, so there's a clue.

For you are more than flesh and bone

nerves and blood and sinew,

You're so much more than just a clone

you're a product of all that's in you.

You're heart and soul and spirit too

And they're unique, so it can't be you.

But then there's ethics, morality;

do we follow yours or mine?

Are the reasons mere liberality?

And where do we draw the line?

Religion can't give an unbiased view

It's illogical to expect it to.

Not many of us will have a say,

we're not the ones to decide.

The scientists will have their way;

I just hope it's not out of pride.
