Human cloning naturally raises a lot of questions from both ends of the spectrum. First and foremost — are we playing God? I am a religious person, so this issue didn’t simply escape me without careful consideration.
We are still clear of any flood invoking wrath of God dangers from stepping on his toes. The way I see it, if you’re the CEO of a company and someone in research and development starts doing your job without your consent, the said person shouldn’t be surprised to be doing a job search once more (or possibly be promoted right up the ranks if you’re not afraid of him stealing your job).
If you had the power to hire employees who wouldn’t be capable of doing your job even if they wanted to, you wouldn’t ever have to worry about having to deal with such an over-ambitious individual (although the company might very well die with you someday).
God created us, and we could never compare to his perfection no matter how often we go to church and avoid the impure thoughts Preacher Bob taught us about.
So, don’t you think it’s a little egotistical for us to think we can step into his shoes with something we create? In fact, going around killing people for certain characteristics is not even “playing God.”
He gave us the ability to kill, and we’ll be punished for it in due time if used. If hiring and firing is the boss’s job, though, is the human resources doing that job through delivering the message? The decision was made, and it was made by the boss.
