To make a custom pet you need different types of cells.
Put together in a specific way.
Layered on top of each other in a particular order.
I don't know the exact details nor do I want to.
Want a blue dog? You can order a blue dog.
No questions asked except for maybe which shade of blue and what temperament you want your dog to have..
Want a quiet soft Rottweiler? Done deal! This brilliant doctor (or mad scientist) also says soon he will be able to develop custom-made people for this who just can't seem to find someone.
To me this scheme reeks of money.
Imagine all of this people on eHarmony all finding their "perfect" match.
Just like shopping for a couch.
Custom made to your wishes.
6 packs to go! This makes me think of the question"when will we stop?".
Don't get me wrong I am all for progressing humanity, and inventing and exploring new things but this is just absurd.
People are the way they are because of the experiences they have had.
So what happens when they (the designed/produced people) are placed in a world full of potentially changing experiences? Will they stay the same? Will they change and not be the person you ordered anymore? Picture this.
Someone asks where you and boyfriend met.
"Oh him? I was bored one day and decided to design my dream man on a website".
Will these people and animals be able to live a normal life? Will they be susceptible to illnesses? How does one create never endings, feelings an emotions and bones from laying tiny cells down.
It truly is marvellous at hoe far we have progressed but I still have so many questions.
The world is progressing so fast that even now we struggle to discern between fantasy and reality.
The internet, plastic surgeons and the media all make us wonder and question our everyday "reality".
I fear that in the future it will get much worse.
When will we value original human beings for what they are instead of constantly trying to change them.
Not the just the physical attributes but the inner workings, the experiences,the personality, the dreams and the hopes.
Self improvement is good but sometimes we try too hard.
If this scheme does indeed become a part of our every day lives we will have to rethink and adjust our idea of reality.
Which is the scariest idea of our generation!
