What We Thought This Decade Would Be Like Vs. Reality

Humans Would Clone Each Other

Human cloning is highly navigated territory when it comes to the science fiction genre. This is still not a thing in 2018 – and it probably shouldn’t be. Human cloning has long been debated as an actual possibility, but the ethics of it remain up in the air even if the technology exists. In fact, human embryos are cloned to make stem cells, the first of which occurred in 2001. Dogs and sheep have also been cloned in the past (though they regrettably didn’t live long, healthy lives). In 2018, Chinese scientists managed to clone a monkey which brought us one step closer to living in Orphan Black. It could happen, but it hasn’t happened yet.
