Abstract

The real significance of cloning is that formerly irreversible processes have become reversible. Applied to a larger context, this means what is done can be undone. By this breakthrough, human limits can be overcome or undone. However, this is not so with life. Not everything man does he can undo. Living with the consequences of a bad decision is an undeniable truth. Reversing or undoing the past is different from repentance. Repentance does not alter the past nor does it erase the mistakes that were done.
