Cloning is safer - the perils of sexual DNA combination?
#18
RE: Cloning is safer - the perils of sexual DNA combination?
The thing with cloning is that, from what I heard, it's not yet here. Scientists have not figured how to clone, as they call it, more complex animals, let alone humans. There is talk about cloning the mammoth but not even the elephant was successfully cloned or chimpanzees.

Plus, the already cloned animals have health problems, a variety of defects in vital organs, such as the liver, brain, and heart. Other consequences include premature aging and problems with the immune system.

Third, someone already compared it with eugenics. Indeed, who would be the arbitrator of who gets to reproduce/ clone? You can't just forbid people to reproduce.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
