Examples Of Arguments Against Cloning
Give arguments for or against the proposition that cloning is “playing God”.
First I would like to point out What is Cloning? According to Medline, WebMD, and other resources cloning is defined by “the processes used to create the exact genetic replica of another cell, tissue, or organism”, a copy of the original cell, with the same genetic formation makeup as the original cell. Which is referred to as a clone. There are three main types of cloning:
1. Gene Cloning which implies copies of genes/ or DNA
2. Reproductive Cloning, which creates copies of whole animals
3. Therapeutic Cloning, which creates embryonic stem cells, cells grow healthy tissue to produce injured or diseased tissue in us humans. …show more content…
Newman states argument can't be grounded in pragmatic theory; it must be founded on Biblical absolutes. We must further say that when Biblical morality governs human action (ethics), those decisions will be the ones that truly work, and will be the "greatest good for the greatest number." It may not appear so, because, from our limited perspective, God's judgment may be operative more than His providential blessing. Nonetheless, our obligation is to understand and affirm the Biblical ethics which lies behind this problem, in order for us to know that this battle, along with so many others in the wars of unbelief, must be sustained for the long haul. Morality is always a life and death issue, whether individually or for a nation. What exactly would a Bible-believing Christian say about human life which would, by definition, exclude it from cloning or any other procedure which renders human beings as so many "biological objects," on the same level as other …show more content…
By "imitation" we mean that man starts with life and then attempts to replicate it; man doesn't start with "nothing," as God did.
What distinguishes man from sub-human life is that only man bears the image of God in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness with dominion; and man is accountable for exercising these faculties (or attributes) to the glory of God and to the benefit of his fellow man, all according to God's law-word so that all of creation is respected and subdued in order to further the kingdom of God. The classical references for the first three images of God in man are from the New Testament; the last one is from Genesis chapter one.
We contend that knowledge, righteousness, holiness, and dominion were all operative before the entrance of evil and sin into man's world, called the Fall (Genesis 3). In summary, we can think of these images this
