Cloning Humans

The right to being uniquely human
of freely choosing a mate
will soon be under debate
experiments now reaching new domains....
a law will pass from the throne:
we'll be coming from clones.

having the basis for a strain
Will life become a pain?
or start from one liver cell
that divides;
there’s more to tell
from both sides.


conservatives want us not to tamper,
experiments with humans presents a damper;
if we leave out the mother's womb,
the child they say will not bloom.


Futurists say its time to select
let's produce better people, they say,
a need for strong leadership is neglected...
why should progress be held at bay?


Will life become a pain,
and is humanity going insane?
we're in the grip of an unholy debate
and soon the question will be
who will mate.

Our mating habits will soon be flung
and many tales will be unsung.
Too many babies will look alike
and politicians will get uptight.
