Mass-producing genetic copies also undermines human dignity and individuality.
Jul 7, 2023 · Making a clone requires collecting and destroying embryos, living beings, to make it happen. The Bible takes a staunch stance of embracing life at every stage, so destroying embryos would directly violate its stance. Cloning would mean destroying life to, in a perverted way, create it.

Many scientists oppose "reproductive" cloning for these reasons, but still favor cloning for research. Yet the main difference between the two is this: In reproductive cloning, most cloned humans will die very young; in cloning for research, all of them will die, because they will be deliberately killed as means to someone else's idea of medical progress.
Jan 4, 2022 · 1. There is a concern that genetic engineering will take on a role beyond that which God has given to us as stewards of His creation.
