1. The tragedy of beauty
Certain abnormalities will not have to exist in the future. The concepts of ugly, unwanted and deformity will change. Cloning is about assembling the perfect features -the best DNA- ultimately resulting in setting a new, much higher standard of beauty and health. But in this lies so much tragedy. The tragedy lies in the fact that we are not only wiping out malformations like congenital defects but at the same time we are thinking about small inconveniences like an oversized nose. Taking away the parts we believe are ugly and unwanted will change our notions of aesthetics drastically. It is the combination of beauty and tragedy that is so appealing and commonly used in their work. For many artists the ugliness itself has been an inspiration. The deviation is what makes something interesting, even beautiful.

2. Who is my father? Who is my mother?
What is the meaning of family and upbringing for the cloned human? How will sexual manners change when sperm is redundant and egg cells cleaned out before use? Will the urge to reproduce survive if everybody is sterile? The developments in the field of sperm donation, egg donation, intende parents, surrogate mothers and IVF can be seen as intermediate steps towards cloning. It changes the natural limits and allows people to reproduce when they are not capable of doing this in the traditional way. This leads to ethical questions surroundind the right to reproduce. Is family definable in terms of DNA? What is it like to know nothing about your biological ancestors? If humans are cloned, who will decide who will be cloned, or what the standard should be? How will the cloned babies be created, will they eventually grow outside a woman’s body?

3. Am I my twin?
Why are we fascinated by our mirror image and at the same time afraid? The doppelganger acts as a precursor of the feelings we have towards cloning humans. Does cloning mean large groups of identical people, in both phenotype and genotype? The impact is comparable with an army or a boarding school, a high level of uniformity, uncontrollable group dynamics and oppression, even elimination of what is deviant. How realistic are physical identical clones? Cloning pets proved that the first cloned cats had a different fur pattern to the original cat.
Young children do not make a distinction between fantasy, dreaming and reality. An imaginary friend can be very vivid and convincing. How do children feel about cloning, not being troubled by social conventions?

4. Art as knowledge
Another approach for cooperation between artists and scientists is not merely using arts for their ability to visualise, but to see the benefits of a more holistic or alchemist's approach which is not appropriate within science but still allowed and practised in the arts.

5. The relation between art and genomics: is an approach possible?
