Star Wars: Attack of the Clones!!! (Pause.) That's not really what my
speech is about. It's about something a lot more complex and a lot more
complicated than just Star Wars. It's about human cloning.
First of all, let me start out by saying right off the bat that I'm totally
against human cloning. Picture for a moment that there was another "you"
running around. (Pause.) I have to admit that that would be pretty cool,
wouldn't it? You could cut everything you had to do in half. But there's a lot
more to it than just that...
For the past few decades, scientists have been very excited about the study
of human cloning. And I can understand why. I mean, it's a major scientific
advance and breakthrough. They haven't cloned a human successfully yet, but I
know if they keep trying and getting the kinks out of their techniques that,
eventually, they'll accomplish what they've been working on.

Countries who voted in favor of the declaration Co...Just imagine; to be
able to make a human being artificially. That's pretty crazy. But think about
this: Why in the world would anyone want to make, and I literally mean make, a
human being? Why can't people just let nature take it's coarse? Why can't
people just leave nature alone? Why do people think that they need to tamper
and experiment with it in order to maybe make it "better" or "more interesting"?
I know that not everyone agrees with me. Some people are for human
cloning. Some people believe that this breakthrough is great and can't wait for
it to advance even more, to where maybe even cloned humans don't have any
defects and are advanced enough to where they can be released into society and
not just kept in labs. But for me, I...
