For my research paper, I am interest in how robots and
clones are portraying in films. Robots and clones are two very different topics
because I believe that human clones are closer to be more like humans than
robots. Most films are focus on robots, such as, The Terminator, is a popular film,
known as, how robots came to empower humankind but one has managed to wonder
how humans feel. Robots are machines that act like a computer and not like
humans. One scene from The Terminator inspires me to research about artificial intelligence.
John told the Terminator that he was feeling sad for not being able to be with
his dad. After the Terminator asked what was sad and wonder about the emotion
of sad. When John answer him, “Have you ever felt sad or pain?” made me realize
that artificial intelligence are smarter than humans but can’t feel emotions
like humans can.
A popular TV show called Orphan Black is about a young
woman named, Sarah Manning, that experience seeing a woman, who looks like her,
jump in front of the train. As Sarah took over the woman’s life, she finds out
that the woman has been in contact with other women who looks like her. Sarah
meets Alison, who is a soccer mom, and she then meets Cosima, who is college
student with a biology major. They all learn that they are someone’s experiment
who created clones and many other clones are out there around the world. Questions
started rising to my mind as the show continues. I started to wonder that if
cloning were possible, then there would be no difference to determine if someone is
a clone. Beside the fact that clones act
more like humans than artificial intelligence, is what are the benefits of
cloning? Clones are just copies and not the original, so what would happen if
the organs of a clone don’t function properly like a humans? These questions encourage
me to find the answer and learn more about human cloning.
