The Island Movie: Cloning Made To Look So Beneficial- But Is It Really?

Over the weekend as my dog recovered from tumor removal surgery, I settled in and watched The Island movie from 2005 again. It's been quite a few years since I viewed this movie, and this time instead of for entertainment purposes, I watched it with pen and notebook in hand for research purposes. I actually had the chance to make lists, see things I had missed years ago and really started to connect some dots.

The two main reasons dignified that cloning is beneficial in the movie are:

• Surrogate and adoption of babies - Lima One Alpha gives birth and immediately is "killed"- which Lincoln Six Echo witnesses and continues to realize the compound is not all it's "cracked up" to be, the beautiful Island that's sought after in the Lottery does not exist and that the outside world is NOT contaminated. So much to grasp onto when you're a clone and have no knowledge of so many things in life; except what the compound staff is informing you of to be real and correct.

• Organ transplant and harvesting- Yeah you knew this was going to happen. This REALLY comes into play when in NYC and Jordan Two Delta's true human Sarah Jordan needs transplants to survive and come out of her coma.

Both surrogacy and organ transplants COULD BE considered a positive for human cloning, but not the way Dr. Merrick is running the compound or conducting business within the institute.

Personal NOTE Loved the idea that the president of the US has a clone- oh, c'mon, tell me you never once thought that couldn't be true

My recent post about Human Cloning Benefits... Let Me Tell You What I Think.

Can Clones Recall Memories That Are NOT Their Own?

In the movie, Lincoln began having memories, or nightmares, that were not his own; but instead his "host" human, Tom Lincoln.

I am in no way or means a science person nor do I have ANY science background (unless you consider junior and senior high school science classes as a science background), but I have to say... if REM cloning is done, then why wouldn't memories be transferred from human to clone.

Now, I am not positive this is how the clones in the movie were created, but you would almost have to imagine it was. See my explanation of REM cloning in this previous post.

And What About Feelings?

I wrote down emotions and feelings I saw Jordan and Lincoln experienced all throughout the movie, see if you agree, or if I missed any.

• Fear- Lincoln's nightmares, Jordan hanging from the building before Lincoln saves her
• Anger- Lincoln wants bacon and someone stole his left shoe
• Love & Happiness- Lincoln gets his bacon from Jordan and you can see the underlying affection between the two- especially after Tom Lincoln is shot (yeah the kiss and all that kind of gave it away)
• Concern/Worry- Lincoln recalling his nightmare and the boat/drowning
• Pain- when Dr Merrick implants probes into Lincoln- yeah people, or clones, don't scream like that cause they are pain-free
• Anxiety- Jordan feels unsure of Lincoln going with Tom Lincoln- NEVER doubt a woman's intuition
• Confusion- when Lincoln and Jordan are arrested... court of law? what's a court of law? Jordan asks.

So, regarding Donald Marshall and having the REM - Mark 2 cloning, how are emotions and feelings transferred?
Thoughts, ideas and perhaps more are conveyed from the person to the clone, but does that include feelings and emotions? Just thinking outside the box
