Cloning Living Forever..???
Due to cloning it may be possible someday to reverse the aging process. Cloned cells can be made into new stem cells. These stem cells are used to repair injury in different organs or tissues. For example: Stem cells inserted into damaged hearts have replaced a high percentage of whole hearts. Stem cells have also successfully replaced bone constructions. Because the stem cells are an exactly copy of the old cells, the only difference being that they are younger, the body of the person who implanted the new stem cells could be renewed. So it would be possible at some point for mankind to live as long as they want to live.

I do not like the idea of ,,living forever". I think our society has enough problems with the population as there are many more old people living in the developed countries than young people, and in general the world population is rising. Who should work and pay the pension for all of the elderly people? Even nowadays it is hardly possible. I also do not believe that there would necessarily be more birth. I could imagine a decline in the birth rate; therefore the elderly population would increase. Of course ,,this would eleminate fear of old age and death"10 but it brings a lot of new problems. I think rejuvenation is just an advantage for the individuum but not for the mankind. And from my point of view it is our duty to care for all people and not just for ourselves.
