good thing?
Yes, without a doubt! The fact that medicine extends people's life expectancy is a gift for all of us.
If people live longer, it gives us a chance to spend more time with our grandparents, and this is
priceless. Some people will tell you that it puts pressure on children because they have to support
their parents and their grandparents financially for a long time, but what is money compared to the
privilege (= chance) of spending time with family? People should keep this in mind and simply try
to save a bit of money to pay for their retirement.
4. What do you think about human cloning?
Well, this has been quite a controversial issue in the last few years. First of all, I think that human
cloning could be positive because it would offer the chance to have a baby to infertile parents (=
who can't have children). In addition, if scientists can reproduce (stem) cells, they might be able to
make tissues and organs to treat diseases. But I read that human cloning was not safe. Animal
cloning has produced many dead, deformed and diseased animals. I am in favor of making human
cells for research, but I oppose the whole baby cloning idea. If we produce identical people, it will
lessen (= reduce) the diversity of the population and diversity is a great thing. If everyone looked
the same, life would be boring. It also poses ethical problems (= on moral principles). People
would be able to decide what their child should look like. If everyone looked perfect, or shared the
same brain, life would become very bland and tasteless. I think that human cloning would
undermine the value of human life.
