Subject: When is abortion right? |
Bible Note: Greetings CDBJ! I hope you didn't feel like I was 'jumping down your throat' when I responded to your post my friend! :-) Concernig cloning, I personally don't object to cloning based upon the timing of the 'reception' of the soul. My concerns are as follows: 1) I am concerned that we would be creating a sub-class of people, who though they are fully human, do not have basic human rights. 2) I am concerned that we would be creating 'spare parts', if we have enough money that is! 3) I am concerned that we would be further devaluing human life (as with abortion) by creating sub-classes of human beings, who only differ from the rest of humanity by the circumstances of their birth. The issue of the 'soul' has never been my problem with cloning. I simply see huge practical and ethical problems down the road if we allow cloning. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
