Soon, if not already, living organisms are going to be created from a bottle of chemicals put into a precise order and injected into an unfertilized egg.
It just occurred to me, how human cloning could alter the evolution of man (from this point on). Not only from the "recepy of designed DNA" that would go as input, (assuming this can be perfected), but also from a "natural process" as a result over time from this managed input.
Are you going to defend that as devine?
Ah ! Perhaps, the "divinization of moonshine theories" would be eliminated, the first result of such influence in human development.

I see no reason for the failure in the technology side of human cloning. On the other hand, I see a potential worsening of the overpopulation problem, unless proper management is applied. Not an easy thing to accomplish.
Something to consider...
A sample of the coming debate:

? Is human cloning good or bad, moral or immoral, from a religious perspective?
The most commonly cited ethical and moral arguments against human cloning seem to originate from religious perspectives. These religious arguments can even be made by politicians and scientists with religious sympathies. Many religious philosophies teach, for example, that human life is unique and special and should be created, determined and controlled only by their deities. Many religions believe in the existence of, and in the individuality of, a human soul. Many Christians, for example, will be concerned about whether it will be possible to clone the human soul, along with the human. If it is possible to clone the soul, what will this "mean"? In contrast, if a person is cloned, but not their soul, what will this "mean"? Can a clone without a soul be destroyed and not offend moral or religious beliefs? Cloning will be divined by many as humans assuming the powers, the providence, and the jurisdiction their deities or other spiritual powers of their supernatural universe
Soul ? Cloned human with/without a soul ? He he he he...
I can not wait to hear the arguments from either side. But it is a good thing they have done away with witch-hunting and witch-burning. |
