Bohyun Yoon, a contemporary Korean artist, has created an unusual installation called "Fragmentation" dedicated to human cloning and space surgery. In it, he tried to emphasize both the advantages of these new directions of science, and their disadvantages. It turned out, of course, something controversial, but still original.
Bohyun Yoon took two models, a man and a woman, undressed them, laid them on the table and covered them with mirrors, "breaking" their bodies into parts. The resulting installation, as it were, multiplies the number of body parts several times. This, as conceived by the author, shows the advantages of cloning. Humanity will be able to obtain an almost infinite number of organs for transplantation. While now sick people have been waiting in line for heart, kidney, liver, etc. transplants for years.
But, on the other hand, with such an approach to the human body, people will become impersonal. They will be perceived only as a set of organs that can be reproduced at any time.
In general, cloning is undoubtedly a great breakthrough in human Civilization. But at the same time, it can become the beginning of its end.
