Children of Men


I’m going to start by illustrating brief synopsis of up coming film Children of Men.
The film is set in a near future where the human race has lost its ability to reproduce; England descends into chaos when the world's youngest citizen dies at 18. The protagonist of the film is given a mission to save the woman who is pregnant. The woman is about to give a first child in 27 years.

I thought this film can be related to theme of our readings this week.
There is thousands ways for a human being to die, but there is only one way for a human being to be born. What if the reality of our modern world turns into the world of Children of Men?
If human beings loose the ability to reproduce, what is going to happen? Are we going to extinct?
The article tackles on the issue of self preservation and the moralities which is based on. However will the argument change if its not self preservation, but it is preservation of human race.
What if cloning is the solution to continuation of human reproduction. Religious groups are going to allow science to develop cloning? Is religion going to change their perception of cloning in order to continue existence of human beings, or extinct race of human beings by sticking to their perspectives?
Current circumstance of the world does not need cloning, but it need to develop its ability to perfection in case of emergency such as the world of Children of Men becomes reality.
