...especially when one of the premises is untrue and morally reprehensible. ...they were able to create a human body with no mind or soul of its own (its just a body, no different from a dead one). Dead bodies decompose whereas a human clone would be alive and breathing, he or she would have a stream of consciousness, the ability to think and rationalize, to make choices both good and bad - they would be, regardless of how they came to life, a human being made in the image of God, complete with a soul and spirit. Unfortunately your premise is actually held by many and will be the vehicle by which human clones will be treated as things and not people, something to be used for whatever purpose one sees fit. Sorry but your post made me sick - it's a wonder why I come here anymore... J P.S. - My signature is rather eerily relevant this time around - you ever watch A.I.? Come away, O human child, to the waters of the wild, with a fairy hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. |
