The Island

     In our last class, we watched the first half of The Island. The movie deals with the morals of creating clones, and using the clones' organs as transplant organs for patients.

     In the movie, the clones are made for one purpose, and that is to supply organs for high paying patients. Once the desired organ is removed from the clone, they are killed (if not already killed from the process of removing the organ).

     The clones are forced to eat foods that better their health, as well as exercises often, in order to make sure that the organs are in best health. Additionally, they are stuck inside all day, and are told lies that keep them from questioning anything. They are also put to work, though it is unclear what there job is (they insert stuff into pipes or something like that).

     Is it fair to make clones for our own sake? That has been a question for many people. Very soon, people will have to make the choice whether it is ethical to make clones for our own profit, or to make an army of something like that.
