When she was bom, the frst testtube baby, she was at the centre cf an ethical debate almost as fierce as the one now threatening to break over Eve, the alleged first clone. In vitro fertiization is now routine and uncontroversial. Will the same happen to cloning? Will we look back in 25 years and wonder what the fuse was all about? | doubt it. There are good reasons to be much more pessimistic about Eve. The technology that produced her is inherently unsafe, at least for now, and Eve will be lucky if she escapes serious deformity. About 30% of domestic ‘animals bor as clones have gross abnormalities of one organ or other, a rate 15 limes as high as in normal births. By the way, | am here assuming that Eve is @ clone. | do 80 for the sake of argument, not because | especialy trust the word of the cult leader Rael and his ‘bishop* Brigitte Bo'sselier, who announced the news. Any man who claims to have rmet a flying saucer from which descended cliché almond-eyed aliens~who abducted him for sensual experiences with voluptuous robots-is worthy of some skepticism. But the fact is that almost avery person who has set out with sufficient expertise to clone a mammal since 1997 has suoceeded quite quickly. Cloning the mammal for whom implanting emoryos has long been routine medical procedure should be especially easy. If the Raelians are lying, somebody olse will soon succeed. ‘So my prediction is that Eve is a genuine clone, and tragically that she may soon be il, The remarks mada by Ms. Boisselier before and after Eve's birth suggest Ms. Boisselier does not take the risk of developmental deformity seriously. Thera is no evidence that her team has soived the problems of high birth weight, hypertrophied organs and premature aging tht continue to bedevil the best animal-cloning laboratories. Al of which brings us to the place of moral clarity from which cloning deserves to be judged: Volunteering an unborn Child for @ potentially dangerous, painful and grotesquely disfigured Ife is morally unacceptable, even evil. The Raelians deserve all the condemnation that will rin on thelr heads, not because cloning is wrong in principle, but because itis unsafe, {tis already plain that cloning, if it were safe, would meet an unmet need, just as in vitro fertilization met a need that ‘adoption did not supply. Cloning is wanted by infertile couples who cannot produce eggs and do not wish to use donated ones, by lesbians (and to a lesser extent by gay men who could find surrogate mothers) and most especially by the parents of chidren kiled in accidents. The Web sites of cloning enthusiasts abound with demands for the opportunity to re-create a dead child Irrational and mistaken as these wishes often are ~ many of these people probably expect a clone to be the dead Porson, complete with memories and experiences - they seem to be inseparable from extreme grief for some people in the madem word. In the same way that nobody predicted that sex selection would be used mainly for family balancing {a girl after a string of boys, or vice versa), 50 nobody foresaw that demand for reproductive cloning would appear most strongly among the bereaved ‘Such gret is showing itself wiltully blind to the risks: Some people would do almost anything to bring back a dead child, even risk producing an unhealthy one. The combination of an unsafe technology and strong demand is explosive tenough. Acid in the ingredient of a cult, complete with idiotic suggestions from its leaders that one day it will be possible to clone adults directly into adulthood and transfer their memories, and last week's news threatens to become biology's Chernobyl ~ discrediting a whole raft of useful technologies. Chernobyl proved that a badly designed and badly managed reactor could cause an accident capable of kiling a small number of people and slightly increasing the cancer risk in a large area nearby. The worst nuclear power could do was thereby proved to be modest damage compared wih the safely and environmental record of coal, ol and wind. Yet Chernobyl instead let the impression that all nuclear power was unsafe. Likewise, the Raelians may have just made it more difficult for science to convince a skeptical public that reproductive technologies and genetic engineering can deliver benefits. No matter that they have already begun to deliver magnificent benefits: fertily forthe infertile, safe insu for diabetics, new drugs for cancer victims, individually targeted drugs for mental pationts, vitamin-A-tich ree for poor ehildren in poor countriee--even the promize of stem calla te repair the damage wrought by Parkinson's disease. ‘Against these benelis, the disaster of one sick child produced by the premature use of reproductive cloning might seem to be a small setback.

The latest news wil only further that stereotype. If scientists think they can merely condemn the Raelians and escape all blame themselves, they have been in the ivory tower too long. As Europeans learned over genetically modified food, there ate slick media campaigns wailing and ready to tap into a deep public suspicion that scientists are leting genies out of bottles. There is an audience ready and wiling to believe that the science that they do not understand is inherently dangerous and that those who wield the knowledge are full of malevolent intentions.

DIRECTIONS for questions 17 to 20: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow it, The television show “Deadliest Catch depicts commercial crab fishermen in the Bering sea. Another, “Dirty Jobs.” shows all kinds of grueling work; one episode featured a guy who inseminales turkeys fora living, The weird fascination of these shows must lie patly inthe fact that such confrontations with material realty have become exoticaly unfamiliar. Many of us do work tha fee more surreal than real. Working in an offic, you often fin It eile to see any tangible result from your efforts. What exactly have you accomplished al the end of any given day? Where the chain of cause {and elect 's opaque and responsibilty illus, the experience of individual agency can be elusive. “Dilber,"-The fice” and similar portrayals of cubicle life attest to the dark ebsurdism with which many Americans have come to view thei white collar jobs. Is there a more “rea” altemative (shor of inseminating turkeys)? High school shop-class programs were widely dismantled in the 1990s as educators prepared students to become ‘knowledge workets". The imperative of the last 20 years to round up every warm body and send it to college, then to the cubicle, was tied to a vision of the future in which we somehow take leave of material reality and glide about in a pure information economy. This has not come to pass. To begin with, such work offen feels more enervating than gliding. More fundamentally, now as ever, somebody has to actually de things: fix our cars, unclog our toilets, build our houses. Fant aah (0-2789819405 Fax‘When we praise people who do work that is straightforwardly useful, the praise often betrays an assumption that they hhad no otner options. We idealize them as the salt of the earth and emphasize the sacrifice for others their work may €etail. Such sacrifice doss indeed occur — the hazards faced by a lineman restoring power during a storm come to mind. But what if such work answers as well o a basic human need of the one who does It? | take this to be the suggestion of ‘Marge Pierey's poem “To Be of Use,” which concludes with the lines “the pitcher longs for water to carryfand a person {or work that is real.” Beneath our gratitude for the lineman may rest envy. This seems to be a moment when the useful arts have an especially compelling economic rationale. A car mechanics’ trade association reports that repair shops have seen their business jump significantly in the current recession: people aren't buying new cars; they are fixing the ones they have. The current downtum is likely to pass eventually. But there ‘aro also systemic changes in the economy, arising from information technology, that have the surprising effect of ‘making the manual trades — plumbing, electrical work, car repair ~ more attractive as careers. The Princeton economist Alan Blinder argues that the crucial distinction in the emerging labour market is not between those with mare or less ‘education, but between those whose services can be delivered over a wire and those who must do their work in person (ron site’ The latter wil find their velincods more secure against outsourcing to distant countries. As Blinder puts it, ‘you can't hammer a nail over the intemet’. Nor can the Indians fix your car. Because they are in Inia. Ii the goal is to eam a living, then, maybe it isn't really true that 18-year-olds need to be imparted with a sense of panic ‘about getting into college (though they certainly need to leam). Some people are hustied off to college, then to the Cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents, when they would rather be leaming to build things or fix things. (One shop teacher suggasted to me that “in schools, we create arfcial learning environments for our children that they know to be contrived and undeserving of their full attention and engagement. Without the opportunity to learn through the hands, the world remains abstract and distant, and the passions for learning will not be engaged.” ‘A gifted young person who chooses to become a mechanic rather than to accumulate academic credentials is viewed {8 eccentric, if not self destructive.

When she was bom, the frst testtube baby, she was at the centre cf an ethical debate almost as fierce as the one now threatening to break over Eve, the alleged first clone. In vitro fertiization is now routine and uncontroversial. Will the same happen to cloning? Will we look back in 25 years and wonder what the fuse was all about? | doubt it. There are good reasons to be much more pessimistic about Eve. The technology that produced her is inherently unsafe, at least for now, and Eve will be lucky if she escapes serious deformity. About 30% of domestic ‘animals bor as clones have gross abnormalities of one organ or other, a rate 15 limes as high as in normal births. By the way, | am here assuming that Eve is @ clone. | do 80 for the sake of argument, not because | especialy trust the word of the cult leader Rael and his ‘bishop* Brigitte Bo'sselier, who announced the news. Any man who claims to have rmet a flying saucer from which descended cliché almond-eyed aliens~who abducted him for sensual experiences with voluptuous robots-is worthy of some skepticism. But the fact is that almost avery person who has set out with sufficient expertise to clone a mammal since 1997 has suoceeded quite quickly. Cloning the mammal for whom implanting emoryos has long been routine medical procedure should be especially easy. If the Raelians are lying, somebody olse will soon succeed. ‘So my prediction is that Eve is a genuine clone, and tragically that she may soon be il, The remarks mada by Ms. Boisselier before and after Eve's birth suggest Ms. Boisselier does not take the risk of developmental deformity seriously. Thera is no evidence that her team has soived the problems of high birth weight, hypertrophied organs and premature aging tht continue to bedevil the best animal-cloning laboratories. Al of which brings us to the place of moral clarity from which cloning deserves to be judged: Volunteering an unborn Child for @ potentially dangerous, painful and grotesquely disfigured Ife is morally unacceptable, even evil. The Raelians deserve all the condemnation that will rin on thelr heads, not because cloning is wrong in principle, but because itis unsafe, {tis already plain that cloning, if it were safe, would meet an unmet need, just as in vitro fertilization met a need that ‘adoption did not supply. Cloning is wanted by infertile couples who cannot produce eggs and do not wish to use donated ones, by lesbians (and to a lesser extent by gay men who could find surrogate mothers) and most especially by the parents of chidren kiled in accidents. The Web sites of cloning enthusiasts abound with demands for the opportunity to re-create a dead child Irrational and mistaken as these wishes often are ~ many of these people probably expect a clone to be the dead Porson, complete with memories and experiences - they seem to be inseparable from extreme grief for some people in the madem word. In the same way that nobody predicted that sex selection would be used mainly for family balancing {a girl after a string of boys, or vice versa), 50 nobody foresaw that demand for reproductive cloning would appear most strongly among the bereaved ‘Such gret is showing itself wiltully blind to the risks: Some people would do almost anything to bring back a dead child, even risk producing an unhealthy one. The combination of an unsafe technology and strong demand is explosive tenough. Acid in the ingredient of a cult, complete with idiotic suggestions from its leaders that one day it will be possible to clone adults directly into adulthood and transfer their memories, and last week's news threatens to become biology's Chernobyl ~ discrediting a whole raft of useful technologies. Chernobyl proved that a badly designed and badly managed reactor could cause an accident capable of kiling a small number of people and slightly increasing the cancer risk in a large area nearby. The worst nuclear power could do was thereby proved to be modest damage compared wih the safely and environmental record of coal, ol and wind. Yet Chernobyl instead let the impression that all nuclear power was unsafe. Likewise, the Raelians may have just made it more difficult for science to convince a skeptical public that reproductive technologies and genetic engineering can deliver benefits. No matter that they have already begun to deliver magnificent benefits: fertily forthe infertile, safe insu for diabetics, new drugs for cancer victims, individually targeted drugs for mental pationts, vitamin-A-tich ree for poor ehildren in poor countriee--even the promize of stem calla te repair the damage wrought by Parkinson's disease. ‘Against these benelis, the disaster of one sick child produced by the premature use of reproductive cloning might seem to be a small setback.

The latest news wil only further that stereotype. If scientists think they can merely condemn the Raelians and escape all blame themselves, they have been in the ivory tower too long. As Europeans learned over genetically modified food, there ate slick media campaigns wailing and ready to tap into a deep public suspicion that scientists are leting genies out of bottles. There is an audience ready and wiling to believe that the science that they do not understand is inherently dangerous and that those who wield the knowledge are full of malevolent intentions. Nothing could be further trom the truth, but in their haste to be the first to show the world a clone, and their hunger to gather funds for the cut, the Raclians have just given that belief urjustfied credence. 11, Boiogy’s Chemobyt 14, What, according tothe author, isthe contbution of (A) is the result of unethical scientists exploiting Raolans? ule people (A).

Another, “Dirty Jobs.” shows all kinds of grueling work; one episode featured a guy who inseminales turkeys fora living, The weird fascination of these shows must lie patly inthe fact that such confrontations with material realty have become exoticaly unfamiliar. Many of us do work tha fee more surreal than real. Working in an offic, you often fin It eile to see any tangible result from your efforts. What exactly have you accomplished al the end of any given day? Where the chain of cause {and elect 's opaque and responsibilty illus, the experience of individual agency can be elusive. “Dilber,"-The fice” and similar portrayals of cubicle life attest to the dark ebsurdism with which many Americans have come to view thei white collar jobs. Is there a more “rea” altemative (shor of inseminating turkeys)? High school shop-class programs were widely dismantled in the 1990s as educators prepared students to become ‘knowledge workets". The imperative of the last 20 years to round up every warm body and send it to college, then to the cubicle, was tied to a vision of the future in which we somehow take leave of material reality and glide about in a pure information economy. This has not come to pass. To begin with, such work offen feels more enervating than gliding. More fundamentally, now as ever, somebody has to actually de things: fix our cars, unclog our toilets, build our houses. Fant aah (0-2789819405 Fax
