Description

Are we biting off more than we want to chew with Genetic Engineering?Technology is a bridge between man and robots.But, are we losing our life in efforts to create and destroy the life that God has already given us?Scriptures:Matthew 3:9And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham toour father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.Deuteronomy 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:Genesis 1:24-27  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.Bioethic Issues Discussed:-Surrogate babies born from generic “donor” cells to divorcing parents and denied child support by a judge who ruled she was “nobody’s child.”-Human Cloning, boththerapeutic and reproductive-Programmed reproduction, as opposed to natural sexual reproduction-Genetic engineering of a desirable race/ breed-Unnatural selection, as opposed to natural selection-Designer babies with selected eye color and features-Eggs harvested from aborted fetuses for infertile women-Embryos to be merged to create "chimaeras" that are actually two people in one.Quoted:“Recent research has already demonstrated a number of abnormalities in cloned mice and other species, including obesity, pneumonia, liver failure, and premature death (ScienceNOW,11 February); most cloned oocytes never make it through gestation. Some scientists say these symptoms may only be the tip of the iceberg. They say it would be a mistake to judge just from its appearance and behavior that a clone--such as the cute kitty born last spring at Texas A&M University (ScienceNOW,14 February)--is normal. Rather, a detailed molecular analysis is needed.” -Multiple Gene Defects Found in Cloneshttp://news.sciencemag.org/2002/09/multiple-gene-defects-found-clones“From every side the press is sending its congratulations to the English couple and best wishes to their baby girl. In imitation of God, who desires and loves human life, I too offer my best wishes to the baby girl. As for her parents, I do not have any right to condemn them; subjectively, if they have acted with the right intention and in good faith, they may even obtain great merit before God for what they have decided on and asked the doctors to carry out." He added, "Getting down, however, to the act in itself, and good faith aside, the moral problem which is posed is: is extrauterine fertilization in vitro or in a test tube, licit?... I do not find any valid reasons to deviate from this norm, by declaring licit the separation of the transmission of life from the marriage act." - Shortly before the death of Pope Paul VI commented on Brown's birth (Source:Prospettive nel Mondo, August 1, 1978; Luciani,Opera Omnia, vol. 8, pp. 571-72  per Wikipedia)Related Video Links:Important Links:Beating the Odds IvF’s First Boy:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3052688.stmNobody’s Child:http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-11-28/news/9711280102_1_luanne-buzzanca-john-buzzanca-child-supportAbortion Facts:Read Latest Breaking News from Newsmax.com http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/54-million-abortions-roe/2013/01/22/id/472494/#ixzz2cGtVSrVxPrevious blog on my Reason2BelieveHim website about Louise Joy Brown, the first test tube baby:Rick Evans& the Journey That Lasts ForeverPictured:Professor Ian Wilmut with Dolly the Cloned SheepDolly Parton (center) with costars in the popular movie "Nine to Five," which ironically dealt with the issue of women being used without credit for monetary gain in the business world.
