克隆多莉（一只相貌无奇的绵羊）的实验过程，从理论上说也同样适用于克隆人类。一个克隆人的世界突然间近在咫尺，科幻小说变成了现实。此消息宣布之后，为了一个未知世界，一个充满各种不可思议的可能性的未来，各国政府立即起草指导方针。克林顿总统命令一个全国委员会研究克隆在法律和道德上的含义。在欧洲，大多数国家都已禁止克隆人类，各国领导此时也开始研究克隆其他物种的道德含义。就像相对论、原子裂变和第一次太空飞行一样，多莉的出现给科学家、政治家和哲学家们提出了一长串难以解答的难题。关于克隆的奇怪问题不断涌现。首先，为什么有人想克隆人类?专家们考虑得最多的关于克隆人类的情形可以分为两大类：1)父母想要克隆孩子，要么是想为面临死亡威胁的孩子提供移植器官，要么是想代替那个孩子；2)成年人出于各种各样的原因想要克隆自己。是否可能克隆死去的人?有位专家说，如果是刚死去不久，也许就可能。所使用的克隆方法要求将一个卵细胞和一个含有被克隆人的DNA的细胞核相结合。(DNA是一种含有我们的基因信息的狭长带状分子。这就意味着细胞核必须保持完整。而人死之后，细胞死亡，细胞核就开始分裂。但是，的确，至少从理论上说克隆死去的人是可能的。克隆的人会和母本一模一样吗?相同的基因不会复制出相同的人。任何认识一些双胞胎的人都知道这一点。事实上，双胞胎相像的程度胜于克隆人，因为他们至少在母体内分享过相同的环境，通常也在同一个家庭里被抚养长大，等等。父母可能克隆出一个面貌与第一个孩子相似的人，但是所有的证据都表明，这两个人的个性会有很大差异。一出生就被分开的双胞胎，有时可能有相同的个性特征，但是这样的特征出现在克隆的儿子或女儿身上，却只能令人想起失去的孩子。即使从生物学的角度看，克隆人也不会和“母本”一模一样。比如，克隆人的细胞可能会有来自卵子而非被克隆人的能量加工机制。然而，在母体和克隆体之间存在的身体差异大部分都很小，需要在设备精良的实验室里才能测定。唯一可能的例外就是生育能力。成功地实施了克隆多莉的科学家们也不敢肯定多莉是否能生育。他们会等到多莉到了生育年龄时再确认这一点。如果父母决定克隆一个孩子以获得器官，那会怎样?多数专家都认为，如果一个孩子感到自己只是作为一个器官捐赠者来到这个世界，那他的心理可能受到伤害。但也有为了进行一些非致命器官的移植而生育第二个小孩的父母，对此许多专家也并不反对。克隆可以将组织适配率从25%提高到将近100%。如果把被克隆的动物用作器官捐赠体，那我们就不必担心为器官移植而克隆双胞胎了。例如，猪的器官就和人类的差不多大小。但是人体会排斥并破坏来自其他物种的组织。为了克服这一障碍，一家公司正在试图改变猪的基因码，以避免猪的器官受到排斥。如果该公司的技术人员成功的话，那么用克隆技术来繁殖这样的猪比用现行的方法更为有效。克隆的人将如何称呼其DNA捐赠者?称呼“妈妈”不正确，因为提供卵子并生下婴孩的女子才更有资格被称为母亲。

称呼“爸爸”也不对。传统意义上的父亲只提供孩子身上一半的DNA。朱迪斯·马丁在用笔名“礼仪小姐”撰写的著作里建议这样称呼：“尊敬的先生/夫人”。为什么呢?“不论他们用什么方式将你带到这个世界，”她说，“人总得尊敬自己的祖先。”这样做还是留下了一些词汇上的难题。一本词典的主编说，名词“被克隆者”听起来不错，但却不够明晰。他更愿意用“母本”和“副本”。克隆对社会还有什么其他含义?最让人担心的不是克隆本身，而是基因工程──即根据特定的要求故意改变基因来创造人类。具体地说，有些专家担心会出现一个新的（和不被尊重的）社会阶层，即“克隆阶层”。有位专家相信，这一情形类似于16世纪时的一种情况，当时的欧洲人对如何对美洲的陌生居民进行归类感到困惑，并无休止地争论他们究竟是不是人类。问题不胜枚举，而人们只是刚刚开始探询克隆技术出现后的世界的未来。华南农业大学期末考试试卷答题纸（选修课）2013-2014学年第一学期考试科目：大学英语四级词汇精讲考试类型：（闭卷）考试时间：90分钟学号：姓名：年级专业：_题号PartI（15’PartII（10’Part=3\*ROMANIII（10’+25’）Part=4\*ROMANIV（20’）Part=5\*ROMANV（10’）Part=6\*ROMANVI（10’）总分得分评阅人得分PartICollocation（本大题共20小题，每小题1分，共20分）1._________2._________3.__________4._________5.____________6._________7._________8.__________9._________10.___________11.________12.________13._________14.________15.___________16.________17.________18._________19.________20.___________得分PartIIParaphrase(本大题共20小题，每小题1分，共20分）1._________2.__________3.__________4.__________5.___________6._________7.__________8.__________9.__________10.__________11.________12._________13._________14.__________15._________16.________17._________18._________19.__________20._________得分PartIIIBankedClozeofReadinginDepth(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分)
