In the movie "Escape from the Clone Island", a group of clones live in an elaborate lie, they think they are the survivors of the pollution of the world, in this "safe haven" their lives are monitored every move, all of them My dream is to win a lottery and enter the same heavenly holy island. The male protagonist Lincoln wakes up from the same dream again and again, his heart becomes restless, and he has huge doubts about this strict environment. As he crosses the border again and again, he discovers a terrifying fact that the world Pollution is just a lie, and the beautiful paradise island is a cruel excuse.
What is discussed in this film is the issue of human cloning, a group of cloned human beings who live to provide organs to the original body. What got me thinking is whether we have the power to give life to a clone and deprive "him" of it. When people are cloned, they become tools and commodities. It may be doubtful that clones do not represent real people. But this is actually a kind of exploitation of cloned human beings by normal people. We believe that it is useless to have cloned human beings with ontology, so we can use cloned human beings as tools and commodities. After this kind of thinking, some people will divide people into high people who are above people and low people below people. But the question is why or not we are qualified to classify people into three, six and nine, and how can we determine whether we are superior or inferior. Human beings are unique and cannot be devalued for their own existence value. Likewise, we cannot devalue the existence of others. Trace back to the origin, do we have the power to give and deprive clones of life, the answer is no, man is unique, we cannot replace his existence with clones, we cannot judge the life of clones, we cannot be sure that we are better than clones Human excellence and devaluation of cloned human existence.
In the film, the male protagonist Lincoln killed his own body by means of a trick and successfully replaced the body. I think that's also something to think about. The question here is whether the clone is a human being, and if he is a human being, should he be judged by the law, or whether the cloned human being is considered to be an animal like a lion-like beast. But clones are different from beasts, and he also has this idea. I thought of another show I've seen. The gateway is a thinking individual, also killing people, but its subject is an awakened robot. And the way the film treats the machine is like a beast, if it hurts people, it will be killed. As for Lincoln, the male protagonist in this film, he is roughly the same as a machine. He is a thinking individual. He is also made by man. The difference is that one has blood and flesh, and the other is steel and iron. We can't give a human clone a proper judgment on the fact that we can't be sure whether it's human or not. And there is another question in this matter. Will clones want to replace the original? The original intention of the male protagonist Lincoln in the film is not to replace the ontology, but the ontology does not want to have living clones around him. If killing the clones fails, he will be killed. The male protagonist Lincoln replaces the ontology in order to survive. But are there clones who know that they are clones and want to replace the original? If there is, it can be described as terrifying, the female protagonist's daughter cannot distinguish clones, and the people working in the cloning center have not noticed whether the male protagonist is a clone. The existence of human clones is a threat to human beings, and the existence of human beings will also be a threat to cloned human beings.
In another scene, Lima, a pregnant woman, gave birth to a child successfully, and the little life was crying. Lima wanted to hug the child, but the male doctor added a shot of liquid to her infusion set. Lima died under the doctor's blank expression. This makes me think of surrogacy, although it's not exactly the same as surrogacy, when it's actually all about trading human life as a commodity. In reality, it may be even more shocking. There is a surrogacy market in the United States, and some poor women have become professional surrogates. Totally reduced to a production machine. There is also a chance of successful conception. Surrogate mothers will experience many pains to complete the task, and some will die during egg retrieval, miscarriage, and belly delivery. Human cloning will not be implemented in reality, but surrogacy is rampant in reality, renting out your own womb, which is the same as devaluing yourself as I wrote before. And those who are looking for surrogacy are devaluing the existence value of others, and people cannot be commodities. Our laws also prohibit the existence of surrogacy.
Technology is a double-edged sword. Under cloning technology, we can achieve better development in animal husbandry, and we can use cloning technology to bring hope for cancer recovery, but at the same time, we have ethical problems in human cloning. At the end of the film, the clones trapped in the "harbour" came out. What is the future of these clones? To be killed shortly after going out, or to be killed by clones and replaced by the original body, this is undoubtedly a disaster for the human world. Prohibiting human cloning, not cloning technology, should be the only correct way to avoid disaster.
Now cloning research has never stopped and is in full swing. It is essential to strengthen the management and control of cloning research. To serve people with technology instead of serving interests through technology, any scientific research should have correct moral values. .
