Likewise goes with the idea of cloning; the clone will not be exactly the same as the genetic predecessor (Holm 36). Moreover, because no one has disputed with the fact that twins are immoral, people "should treat clones like [they] would treat all twins or triplets- (Bailey 109). After all, twins who grow up together are separate people "distinct individuals with different personalities (Bailey 109). Twins are clones. "Copies of genes or cells made through genetic engineering are also clones- (Woods 11), but the real question that remains is "what was the last pair of twins heard of born fifty years ago to two different women? (Kontorovich 31). Just because clones have the appearance of twins, does not mean that they really are. This brings us back to the argument of how twins have a day-by-day comparison to one another whereas; a clone will be expected to copy or become better than the life of his or her genetic predecessor. That is the true difference that lies between a clone and a twin. Yes, a clone is a unique human being but the expectations of a clone are far more relentless than that of a clone. This greater expectation is the "life in the shadows."".
Biotechnology was intended to enhance the treatment and cures of diseases by the uses of microorganisms and the organs of animals. The Industrial Biotechnology Association in Washington D.C. developed agricultural products through biotechnology and genetic engineering. They claim through their extensive research that they can make "plants and animals more resistant to disease, less expensive to grow and more nutritious- (115). In 1983, British scientists developed a genetically engineered organism that prevents frost damage when sprayed on crops (Edwords 14). Scientists are also using genetic engineering to develop safer vaccines to prevent animal diseases as well using animal organs to replace damaged human organs (120). For instance, the biotechnological development of xeno-transplants came to the public's attention in 1984 with the case of Baby Faye; a fifteen-day old infant who received a baboon heart to replace her own died 22 days later (Edwords 14).
