Module 5 Period 3新课教学过程（一）（外研版选修6） Module 5 Cloning Speaking and writing Goals To learn to read and write about cloning Procedures ▇ Reading about arguments against cloning Hello, class. Are you for or against cloning? Lets look at the arguments generally offered against cloning. I believe they can be fairly summarized as follows: ●Clones will be grown to produce spare parts for other people, or to be used for medical research. Thus, clones -- who will be, of course, human beings -- will be treated as disposable property, with fewer rights than any slave, bred and killed for the benefit of others. ●By making a copy of a person, cloning robs people of their individuality. ●By creating a person through an artificial process, cloning is playing God, trying to replace the process created by God with one of our own invention. ●Some number of babies -- embryos, if you prefer -- created by cloning will die because of technical problems in the process, and more will be killed deliberately because they are imperfect. Thus, cloning will inevitably result in the death of innocent babies. ■Talking about cloning Work in pairs to discuss cloning according to the ideas you read just now.

C: I think treating people as property and killing them for your convenience are terrible evils, but these things happened before anybody thought of cloning, and they will, sadly but surely, continue to happen whether cloning becomes a reality or not. B: Still I am strongly against cloning for parts for treatment. C:
