Human Creators

I actually have mixed feelings about scientists creating cell/human beings. The whole topic of cloning kind of excites me. In some ways I feel like it gives humans too much power. People are finding ways to choose gender, eye color, hair color, how smart a baby is and all kinds of crzy stuff. I think that it is ridiculous, what ever happened to people making their babies the natural way and being surprised by the outcome of their child. I mean if you feel sostrongly about creating every aspect of your child, go find a doll to play on. But seriously, on the other hand, I find it kind of cool. I mean people are creating people. I am so fascinasted by how smart people are and the fact that they have figured out how to clone is beyond fascinating. But to go back to what I said earlier about it giving people too much power. There are alot of good people in this world but at the same time there are a lot of bad people. It is possible that someone could use this cloning negatively, I don't know how exactly but anything is possible. I know I rambled about a lot of different ideas but I am just so torn by the idea of cloning, I feel there are ups and downs.
