Media
affects the way many people think about certain subjects. They are able to persuade you to think a particular
way about a topic. Cloning is a topic which they can easily make you change your mind about. You’ll go back and forth
thinking whether it is right or wrong. The media portrays cloning in movies very often. It might not exactly be cloning of
a human child but cloning a body part. One of those types of movies is I, Robot. Another is Jurassic Park when they
dig and find some sort of mosquito that is in a type of hardened sap. They take that to a lab and take its DNA and find out
it dates back to the time of the dinosaurs. So they clone its DNA and bring back dinosaurs. I think that the media portrays
cloning as a bad thing because it always shows that bad side of it. Like in movies with robots and “fake” body
parts they make it seem as if we are going to have super human strength and defeat all the villains and that robots might
take over our world. Also in Jurassic Park they brought back dinosaurs without taking precautions on how they would survive
in the environment and if it would make like more dangerous for us. The media shows us the bad side and that things go wrong
although they don’t show you how it might change someone’s life that might die if they do not get that cloned
heart or what ever it is.
