Aristotle

             Richard Hayes, an executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society has stated that "Technologies are approaching certain thresholds that the public has long said it does not want to cross, and now we need legislation to ensure that they aren't". This becomes the problem for politicians who are trying to keep the benefits of society as a whole as their main objective. Based on Aristotle's view of political science, politicians need to determine which sciences need to be in communities. Although specialists began with an idea to help improve society, many have taken their scientific views to the extreme. Many politicians may agree with cloning activists that cloning will help society maintain the good life, in agreement with Aristotle. They also may believe that these advances have gone too far with their cloning of the human embryo and disruption of natural processes while overlooking the good of society. This may happen when biotech engineers begin to go deeper with experimentation and take cloning to the extreme. Aristotle may have agreed with the medical benefits to society which could occur from cloning, such as the transplant of organs to help individuals with terminable illnesses. The issue of cloning would also conflict with Aristotle, because the goal to benefit society could become overlooked with unpredictable consequences which could greatly be possible. This currently has happened and has become unethical with the recent cloning of animals and the current experiment of cloning humans, due to scientists working faster than ethics. "I am a 21st-century person who was accidentally launched in the 20th." This is an example of a quote which could possibly be stated by someone in the near future who has invested themselves in cryogenics, a process of freezing themselves after death, and coming back at a later point in history. This is a type of cloning where scientists have gone overboard and not realized the dangers cloning could have to society, such as overpopulation in the future.
