This invisible gap between both of them is called 'Cultural Delay Phenomena' Due to it, from the invention of making fire to the genetic technology of cloning sheep, people have been suffering 'maladaptaion' more and more, as time goes by. Can you imagine how many questions would have been raised not only positively but also negatively, heads or tails, when they succeded in making fire first. The destruction of the house, fatal burn, and even death by fire...Gradually, however, the spread of knowledge let them get over their ignorance of it and resulted in another form of fire, what they call electricity, gas, and so on, having become the necessity of life, like water. In the 20th century, for the time being, we have been stuck with another dilemma sinse the scottish reseacher team announced the success of cloning the sheep Dolly. She became the most remarkable sheep on the history,presenting possibilities to change the world entirely. After the announcement, some people have presented an extreme case: The cloning of human beings. While the majority of commoner were possessed with unexplainable fear and horror right our of the blue. Nowadays, people, especially religious, are insisting on regulating it comepletely of partially. The dice have been thrown already, however we may regulate if, what we worry might bring up in the dark. Therefore, approve that everything in human being's imagination will come true as history shows and try to use the new knowledge in constructive ways. ******************************************************************* Tomorrow may not be better than today, it may be worse....
