Sacred Identity Sacred Identity “Can you imagine a whole basketball team of Jordans'” says Elshtain, “what about having forty Mozarts in this world'” (Nussbaum and Sunstein 181) These are just a few concerns that come to mind when cloning is the topic. Others may feel that it is a far- fetched idea and that the government should ban cloning. However, cloning is very possible and is not only seen in the movies. In the essays, “To clone or Not to Clone, by Jean Bethke Elshtain, and “Perspective on cloning” by Daniel Callahan, these topics do indeed arise. One could compare and contrast the essays in terms of the authors’ views on cloning. In “To Clone or Not to Clone,” which is in the book Clones and Clones, Jean Bethke Elshtain does not believe cloning should be allowed. Elshtain does not understand why people would want to go through the whole cloning process. For example, what would one say to a child who is the replica of a deceased child' “What happens when the child learns they are the pinch hitter'” she says. Jean continues to say, “There was an earlier Tommy, much loved, so mommy and daddy had a copy made.” (Nussbaum cloning, callahan, should, clone, elshtain, child, future, essay, ban, world, two, research, people, whole, sunstein, says, put, perspective, one, nussbaum, just, jean, help, great, feels, feel, essays, duplicate, different, believes, authors, about, way, views, uniqueness
