"The Pandora's box of reproductive technologies is open and the creation of the first human clone may be on the way. This video takes a critical look at current advocates of human cloning. These groups seem to ignore the consequences of genetically improved beings: a severe breakdown in the relationships between the sexes and the generations, confusion over parent-child bonds, and the blurring of individual identities. Experts plunge us headlong into this moral dilemma and raise questions for a crucial debate. Are we letting eugenics in by the back door?"
"After the initial shock of Dolly the sheep, the cloning of embryos and animals is regarded more and more as everyday science. The Pandora's box of reproductive technologies is open, and the creation of the first human clone may be on the way. Clone Inc. takes a critical look at current advocates of human cloning. Fascinated by fantasies of immortatlity and narcissistic self-reproduction, these groups seem to ignore the consequences of "genetically improved beings": a severe breakdown in the relationships between the sexes and the generations, confusion over parent-child bonds, and the blurring of individual identities - the very notion of time would falter ... While pointing out the risks of creeping eugenics, Clone Inc. also calls into question the arrogant and pervasive scientism and economism underlying the plans to reshape living matter, which seem immune to criticism. But the primary goal of this eye-opening documentary is to get us to think about our individual and collective silence in the face of this all-out assault on our conceptions of humankind, otherness, gender and family ties - all essential to the ways we think, live together and perpetuate ourselves. These realities are crucial to our close relationship with the world, which some people seem to want to reduce to a simple commodity."@en
"Are humans playing God? Over the last 40 years biotechnology has produced in-vitro fertilisation and now, with Dolly, the capacity to reproduce a carbon copy of an animal. A range of experts including scientists, philosophers, economists, psychiatrists and pro-human cloning group, The Raelians, debate the issues, ethics and moral dangers."
