Hi Karen
I'm sorry, I think I miss-spelt your name in my former post. Human cloning is a very interesting subject. I'm not convinced that it is evil per say. It is cloning for the purpose of human experimentation that I find particularly repugnant. Human life has been cheapened by all of this. Abortion was only the beginning of the bloodletting. Already I hear of proposals to allow for the killing of the very old, the very young and the very sick. How long will it be till that will extend to the not so old the not so young and the not so sick. Perhaps these Scientific wonder boys will offer their own children to be the objects of these experiments. Of course all this has already been tried in Germany. will we never learn? Just because something can be done does not mean it "should" be done.

It seems to me the pace of technological advancement has outstripped the ethical guidance that is so important. It reminds me of a little kid who wants to run ahead of his parents. It might be fine in an open field where you can see danger ahead, but in crowded city their is a good possibility that such behavior will result in disaster.

Pandoras genetic box has been flung open and I am uneasy about what that means for our future.
Have a great day.
Greg
