his clones was given to the Buffalo Museum of Science. But about 50 years later, with some belated embarrassment, the museum sent back the glass man,
queasy over the company he once kept and the ideals he once represented. He even appears in a 1935 photo in Dresden, gazed at by admiring Nazi
officials.
The hercules Factor
The "Hercules" Factor: Cloning humans could lead to the development of a "super race," or at least a "super class" of individuals.
If Hitler had had the power of cloning technology and enough time to grow healthy Arian specimens, there is no question he would have exploited it.
Facing entire divisions of Nazi "Hercules" clones supported by legions of cloned technical geniuses would have resulted in a much more powerful army
than he had. Like the rapid spread of nuclear technology, cloning technology will eventually find its way into the wrong hands
A clone by any other name
Do we have cause to fear that these things might happen? No, we have no reason to fear that these things might happen. Instead, we can rest assured
that somewhere, someplace, at some time, they WILL happen. Not because the clones in question are clones, but because both we and they, us and them,
ARE humans.
