Do You Even Clone, Bro?
The ethical dilemma’s in cloning and genetic engineering today are numerous. One of them being if it is ethically correct to be trying to create life in a laboratory. Personally, I do not think life should be created in a lab. Life should be created the way God intended, which is through 2 humans, not 2 test tubes. All it takes is one step in the wrong direction to end up totally off the moral compass. After a line is crossed for the first time, it gets easier to keep crossing lines. Creating human life in a laboratory could lead to complete destruction of all ethics by introducing everyone to short cuts. Maybe, babies could no longer be around anymore. Why have babies when you can create a fully functional adult who can make money and be fully functional, and not be totally dependent? Defects would no longer exist. Technology to create the “perfect” human would get rid of all special needs with just a shot. With every action, there will be an opposite reaction. With no special needs, something else will come up, meaning another deficiency. It is an inevitable fact because we live in a broken world.
The second is that if life is created, how far shall they go before it comes to an end? If scientists go through with this cloning, then will it ever stop? Once the clones arrive in the world, everything would deb the same. Everything would be uniform, no uniqueness in sight. We would all become a race of superhumans, with no need to acknowledge our need for God. Based on our outward appearance, we would be “perfect”, with no insecurities or flaws to show we are human. For every problem we have, science would fix it. Our only hope would be in machines and other humans. This could be detrimental to our faith, and detrimental to our world as a whole. Now, fellow blogger, do you believe in the uniformness of a human race, or in other words cloning?
