Public Opinion²⁸

CNN offers Message Boards for public discussion of a multitude of subjects, including the Middle East “Peace-Process” and Israel. Many of the views will send chills of icecold horror down your spine²⁹. 

c. dat: In all the furor over producing hordes of Cindy Crawford sex slaves or Hitler tyrants, people are forgetting that you need a womb! You can't just roll the embryos out on a cookie sheet, Pillsbury style, and pop them in an oven for 30 minutes.

Tom Yardly: Your mentioning of the selling babies or their organs is one of the things I've mentioned long ago on this board. With cloning people, what's to stop somebody from creating their own little Organ Farming operation?  I accept that the technology is here to stay. I just think that some care and caution needs to be taken as we move forward in this area... I don't think that Dr.Seeds should be the one doing this... He says that he'll go to another country. His process needs to be examined... At least to determine if what he's planning is even safe. 

My note: Never mind that this is the ultimate challenge to G-d, the messing around with the perfect balance of G-d’s creation, interfering on the presumption that man knows as much as G-d. It is the absolute height of human arrogance. Consider again Isaiah 24 in view of this wicked pursuit and that of the “Land for peace” evil peace process. 

C.Dat... Thats the whole problem with this issue. If Seeds doesn't get his money here, he could go to a South American country, set up his little operation with lesser funding, cheaper equipment and should something happen, be responsible to nobody.....  its going to happen, Cloning, there will be no stopping it. But we can at least make the attempt to keep it under control so that it won't be abused or misused... Cloning technology can be used in other areas without having to clone humans. Organs, tissues, things of that nature... 

tanstaafl mvs - 09:22pm Jan 20, 1998 ET (#2506 of 2516): As far as I know... there are already medical labs where the cloning of skin is being advanced, and at the time of the show (“60 Minutes”) they were already producing skin for burn victims. These same labs have also been looking into the cloning of human organs, so I doubt that you will have to kill your clone in order to get any of his/her organs because we will already have a system where organs can be manufactured....However, even if we are able to clone organs without fully cloning humans, as we are able to do with skin, I still don't see where the FDA gets off making federal regulations and banning human clone research. 
 

Forward with science! I would hate to see religion and shortsighted sceptics stand in the way of progress... where would we be today if Galileo had been stopped by the church? 

My Note: Oy vay! The very words I predicted which would be used against all who will stand faithfully on G-d’s Word and resist and oppose such evil schemes. And how can one possibly compare Galileo’s discovery of the earth being round and circling the sun with human cloning? No connection! One was a pure discovery, the other is an interference in G-d’s creation, meddling with laws of nature with far reaching, unforseeable consequences, breaking the last taboo in rebellion against G-d. 

Benjamin Baker - 12:23pm Jan 20, 1998 ET (#2490 of 2516): I  don't believe cost is going to stop illegal cloning, it may even make it easier. There are plenty of people out there with more money than they have time left to count. What's a few hundred million to clone up a deceased loved one, or youself? Unrestricted cloning could bring up all sorts of property issues. If, for instance, Bill Gates decides that he wants to live forever, he COULD raise himself up from birth and leave everything to himself. Of course, this wouldn't be the original BG in every respect, but it could be close enough to be interesting, and scarey. This may seem a bit  far fetched, but wait a few years... ³⁰
