If cloning was allowed we would never have to do without a loved one. We could create all the tough guys we wanted to fight in wars....... But on the flip side... Another Hitler Another Saddam The evils of this world would create more evils to complete their evils (lots of evils ) We need to mind our own business and let God do all the God work.

If embryos are born by cloning, they will have no soul, theirfore haebv no true fealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it came upon me that everything we do serves His will and plan for us, and in the case of cloning perhaps He is letting us know that there is only one Creator and that is Him, anything we do will be futile and imperfect for only He is perfect. Therefore my reasoning went a little further, insofar as reconizing that there is also another power of this world and he is the evil one whom God in His infinite wisdom has allowed free reign on this earth for a limited time (very limited in God's time) and this one also has the power to influence us and the research on cloning is of this one's doing which is a form of idolatry and is not to God's glory for are we not glorifying ourselves by creating images of ourselves. God is great for His thoughts are not our thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that there are only two possiblities: 1. It won't work, even if they try cloning people; they will have some sort of problems, and won't be able to get them to turn out right; or 2. They will be people, with souls, but will have been conceived in a way that caused the killing of another human being. Really, cloning is taking the DNA from one cell, (killing it to do so), and putting it into another cell, and having it reproduce. I may have explained it wrong... but, it is NOT creating life...only destroying and twisting it... and since human LIFE is what has been endowed with a soul, wouldn't any human being have one, regardless of how they were conceived?
