One of the readings that we did in mine English Composition 101 class was call the Number by Carly Churchill which is about the ethics of cloning. The story tells the story of a father, Salter who clones his son as a way to release some of the remorse that he felt by neglected his primary son. Salter clones his son multiple times and that way he felt that he could make up for the time he lost with his son. As could have imagined things did not work out the way he expected and end up being lonely with neither of the ones he loved. This only shows the mistake of a father who in the attempt to fix his errors made as a father decide to clone his son so he can change the way he acted in the first place with his “original” son which only proves impossible to do, because you cannot pretend to fix the mistakes you did in the past with other son. This is one on the things that humans have not yet have control over even with the pass of decades, time. Humanity does not have the control of time and cannot go back and change the past.

Look at one of our 'imaginative' stories from class and discuss how it can comment on an issue like robotics or human cloning.
