do u agree?

Question

only god has the right to interfere with our genes?? whats your opinion as a christian on a muslim....

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

God gave us the free will and intelligence to develop such technology, but we should take care to use it wisely. It should be used only to help, never to harm.

I feel the best use of the technology would be to remove defective genes or treat existing genetic diseases and cancer. I also approve of disease-resistant GM crops to enable humanity to feed itself, and medicine-making GM microbes to treat illness.

I draw the line at "designer" babies, where the parents choose the appearance, intelligence etc. But I believe that the option of checking and possibly correcting faulty genes is a good one.

No "designer" animals either, where the only motive is profit, so no living Pokemon etc.

And most definitely no viral or bacterial weaponry!

Answer 3

I work with a Gene. Why would GOD mess with the Genes? Maybe he could start with the Scotts or the Freds.

Answer 4

hmmm... as a Christian, I would refrain from the word "Right" it is an American thing that we think we have the right to alot of stuff. However back on topic, I think no. In the bible it says not to breed animals of different kinds (which is comparable to gene splicing today) so I say no we shouldn't mess with genes.

Answer 5

I was raised Roman Catholic and feel that God gave man the intelligence to cure illness, and if it takes "interfering" with genes to do that, I say its "right", for the good of all humans. But I do not believe in cloning just for the sake of being "able" to do something and or recreate your pet poodle.

Answer 6

I think if that were true, he wouldn't have given us such great minds to figure out how to manipulate genes and prevent so many diseases and problems. If you had a child with primordial dwarfism, for example, in the states, do you know how impossible it is to get medical insurance for that baby, and how much medical cost is incurred, not to mention the likelyhood of losing them at a very young age?... just one example.

Answer 7

well it seems god gave us free will...... so its up to us ..christian or Muslim .... me personally don't agree with the gene thingy but that's my personal opinion.... but could say same for penicillin etc etc ..so god gave us the tools and left it up to us so...;;;.we also made the gun whose finger is pointing now..free will and all that don't think so .....but maybe ..we all kill each other off and let nature take control

Answer 8

We already allow doctors to interfere with our bodies in numerous ways, there is no real difference between that and gene therapy etc. There are numerous diseases that can be treated by manipulating our DNA.

Answer 9

Im sure u like a muslimperson, so u need our opinions here, I think muslim perple are unique, although they are diffrent, but we all have to learn to work together. If ur muslim friend will accept u for who u are, u have to do the same too, I am married to a muslim, we chose to do things that are work for us.

Answer 10

Stem cells are the answer to many peoples prayers. Afterall God gave us the brains to
find this procedure. I am a Christian and I believe God wants us to do this.

Answer 11

as an atheist. I firmly believe that genitic diseases ( down syndrome, cystic fibrosis etc ) should be DESTROYED as soon as it is detected in the fetus. I e. kill the kid that would pollute the pool.

I am strongly against the the walmart baby ( picking and choosing everything you want the kid to have) . But I do want such horrible things removed forever.
