If humans are able to grow their own clones
From stem cells, DNA material, test tubes
Will we consider them to be worthy of life
If they are composed of blood and bones
Composites of flesh, with thought and breath
Or will they be formulated for purpose
And their minds all made to be dull
To serve as living spare parts or as servants
Would we kill them to harvest their organs
Would their possessing of intelligent life
Require the rest of us to give them rights
Could we treat them abusively with impunity
Would they have the status of less deserving
Viewed as having souls that are empty
In order to use their parts, and their service
Would they become a composite of flesh
Human cells and organs replaced often
So that we might forever have life?
