Suze, over at Obsolete Childhood has introduced a new prompt called “Answer Me This.” Suze says it’s “an alternative daily prompt” to the WordPress Daily Prompt, which she characterized as “ones that totally suck and are focused upon the young people here.
Anyway, her prompt question today is this:
Is it ethical to grow fully formed, brainless clones for harvesting organs?
Hmm. When I read this question, the first thing that popped into my head was the pod factory in The Matrix where human bodies are cultivated.
I don’t know if this question is a hypothetical question, if it’s about science fiction, or if people are actually doing this or are proposing doing this, but my initial thought is:
Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it.
