Civilian against Cloning
What's the big deal?? Who are we trying to kid? Here we are talking about bringing back the
largest animals that ever walked the planet, including T. rex? Doesn't planet Earth already
have enough problems? You name it, there's no shortage of "bad news" out there no matter the
info media platform you check - and, boy, are those Judges going to get an earful. We can't
even feed all the starving people in the world never mind a bunch of cloned dinosaurs. What
kind of world will we be leaving our children if, in addition to everything else, they have
to deal with extinct forms of life brought back from the past? Ok, ok, calm down; it's true,
the one thing you learned at Colgate is to dream big and pursue your passions. Everyone said:
"take the time to figure out if you could be absolutely one thing just for a day, what would
you be? - and then Go.Do.It!" Hmmm…would you be a race car driver? A talk show host? The
world's best stay-at-home mom or dad? Wow, won't your fellow Colgate alums be impressed to
hear what career you've pursued and why that allows you to speak out against dino cloning!
Everyone seems to be worried about science unleashing uncontrollable, violent forces into
society, and I plan to point out exactly how I can relate to that in my post-Colgate life!
Hasn't anyone thought about all of the HUGE worries that a person like me, a non-scientist
pursuing an otherwise really fun life after Colgate, would experience by sharing my world
with cloned dinosaurs (hello!)? Ok, ok, I get it - scientific research on cloning isn't
necessarily a bad thing, we just have to be careful about….well, about what, exactly?
What the heck is wrong with you people: giving dinos a second chance at re-inhabiting
planet Earth just when we're facing our first mid-life crisis! Are you kidding me? Oh my
heavens, you plan to say loudly and clearly in court that under no circumstances would a
person with my interests and passions ever (and I mean ever) vote for dinosaur cloning!
