30、st-selling autobiography “Rogue Warrior.”“Hes got a lot of upper-body strength. Long arms. Thin waist. Flat stomach.” On this point, Greitens departs a bit. “You cant make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Nav

32、ion. The shooters probably not the crew-cut（平头） , neatly shaven ideal weve come to expect from American fighting forces. “Hes bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” Marcinko supposes. “You dont want to stick out.” Marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.” His hands will be callou

38、ish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument， in terms of morality or religion. Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that paren
39、ts who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations. Then the other clone would be as well. The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term. Moreover， cloning would enable women, who
40、 cant get pregnant, to have children of their own. Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.

There would be a large number of same genes., which reduce the chances of improvement， and, in turn, development-the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance. Furt
43、hermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappea. Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society. Scientists havent 1
44、00 percent. guaranteed that the first cloned will be normal. Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”. Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades: of it
45、. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs, not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable. 【小题 1】 Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A Genetic
