What happens to the clones that simply aren't put together properly?<BR/><BR/>I also beleive that there is something sacred about the beginnings of life, and that there is a reason why a man and woman must come together to form another person. I beleive that the person that is formed is in the image of God. A clone, by definition as merely a copy, and copies by definition have flaws. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, I would have to question the motivation behind cloning. If the answer is that we need the clones to farm body parts, surely there is another way. If the answer is that we need to breed out genetic flaws in people, that flies in the face of natural selection, and in my mind, God's plan. If the answer is, that we need another Mozart, or Van Gogh, or Curie, or Salk, or whomever, I must ask what guarantees we have that the cloned person will have the same abilities. <BR/><BR/>This is not something we need to be doing with our limited understanding.Troubadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245772221940338444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14068788.post-1133973904979881282005-12-07T10:45:00.000-06:002005-12-07T10:45:00.000-06:00gyro ~ monkeys huh?angel ~ Very good point!In this...gyro ~ monkeys huh?<BR/><BR/>angel ~ Very good point!<BR/>In this story, it seemed their main concern was "who" donated the eggs!
