【题目】阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空明处的最佳选项。

Since the great success of cloning the sheep Dolly, the cloning of human beings is no longer a fictional（虚构的） story but can be proved to be medically possible.【1】 I just want to say: NO! NEVER!

【2】 For example, they insist that if we could clone a new Einstein, we would make more progress on physics; and if we could get a new Shakespeare, we would enjoy more profound classic literary works and ... But how can we guarantee that another Hitler could not be brought back to life “thanks to” cloning? Moreover, can we give birth to a baby who exactly shares your grand grandpa’s genes? We would be confused by that relationship or kinship.【3】

Some scientists believe that we can get the organs we need to save people’s life from the cloned counterpart. But is it unfair to them? Even if they are not the creatures of nature but of technology, they are a kind of life.【4】 I do not suppose this action is humane.

【5】 It is another violation of the natural law. Life should be a cycle from birth to death and then rebirth and re-death. Every round of change can breed more varieties of genes. Thereby our human species can live rather than copying ourselves repeatedly, which I believe would lead to the final retrogression(退化) of human species.

A. I do not think we can be granted the right to kill them and take out the organs for our use.

B. If we can always replace our old organs with new ones, we will predictably never die.

C. Thus, the problem unavoidable arises: should we permit human cloning?

D. And in that case, we would find ourselves lost in an embarrassing and disorderly situation.

E. Some people maintain that it can save talents.
