It depends on the purpose the cloning is fulfilling. If we clone racehorses, we could have a bunch of Secretariats running against other Secretariats and their may be the demise of a great industry.
However, if cloning, genetic engineering and selective reproduction have a well defined intent and the end result can benefit humankind, then let's do it. Not being a moralist, I would like to see science continue researching the distinct benefits all forms of reproduction have upon all of the species on the planet.
The protests that are being offered against artificial or any other form of selective reproduction, must be taken into consideration on a scientific basis and not offer up the old adage, "if God intended man to fly, He would have given him wings" in regards to reproduction.
In a day and age when it would be very wise to keep our religion and morals to ourselves, we should allow science to progress within reason and justification. In a nation that prides itself in a government 'of the people, by the people and for the people', I say, lets all be a part of the decision making process regarding sin and science and...
God help us toward that decision.

I dont think cloning is a sin. Reasons?
1)It happens in nature itselF, like DNA replicating itself.Or like Bacteria and viruses replicating.
2)cloning is one of the methods of producing multiple copies of a single organism or cell etc. Nothing more.
3)Those Science fiction movies with the 'Cloned'(?!) monsters running loose and creating havoc is becoming a bit too old.
4)We clone an organism and produce multple copies of it when it is favourable. But when its not favourable, We just merely study it for analystical purposes. (you think scientists have not enuf brains to let loose stuff the know will be life threatening.)
5)Last, but not the least, We Fear that which we dont know. Much is yet to be known in genetic engineering and cloning etc... So naturally we fear about its resultsas we are not yet sure about it.

For Meany plants its a natural way of reproduction.For an example or 2, The Poinsettia, No male's just females.The Quicken asp tree a male no females The Jellie fish and Coral use cloning in their reproduction sikl.If it exist in natcher how can it be a sin!

All the potatoes you eat are clones. So is sugarcane. The bacteria in your digestive system are all clones. Identical twins are clones. Your body clones millions of cells every day. I clone plants all the time and don't feel that it is evil. Why would it be?

as we advance in the field of science,accordingly changes take place in the environment. it also leads to some destruction. cloning is a new avenue in science.asusual it will also have some pitfalls.
it is not a sin . it is a part of the natural cycle.

hullo! have'nt you seen the sixth day.....it is definitely not the best thing scientists have come up in a while.in cloning they basically let an embryo grow till the maximum of its totipotent stage (the 16 cell stage) and then extract the embryo and then insert the germ cells of the person whose clone is being made. its basically like killing a living breathing being. how can it result in any good?!?!?

it is true thay have cloned befor on 2002 a cow it worked the reason was to bring down the milk prices but the cow has very bad milk not that it will kill you but it dose not have the vitimens
so thay stoped for now
hope it answers you Qs
