"Who created the scratch?"
I guess they love being dirt bags forever.

Being very old (haha), I remember the first 'test tube' baby. My flatmate cut the photo of the newborn baby out of the newspaper (yep, it was front page news) and pinned it to the wall, commenting that the eyes were 'pure evil'.
To me, she looked just like a baby, and today she is a grown woman who has a career helping others. Some evil monster.
Whenever this issue is raised, people throw their hands in the air and start screaming about evil and monsters.
Children born this way will be children, just like any other. They will have family and friends, and a life.
I think most of us know where the monsters in the equation will be.
Cheers :-)

You said from scratch. That is not from scratch. That is being done with a tissue sample. They still are in need of a donor. It reminds me of a joke I heard one time where some dude created life from a pile of dust and bragged to God about it. The reply from God was, "Use your own dirt". Just simply making the point that it is n't from scratch. From scratch would be without a donor of any type, without any sort of genetic information of any type, just simply from scratch and it isn't so when you come up with a better one let me know.

Well, it is like this. If God didn't want us to progress, He wouldn't give us the ability to do so. This procedure sounds to me like it will benefit those that are having trouble conceiving. As a person that has been through that whole fertility process, I think that is a good thing. In the case of scientist doing Hybrid things like on vegetables to increase our food supply, that is a good thing.
As I sit here and contemplate your question, one of the few things that I have a problem with from a Christian viewpoint is cloning. But that is a personal issue for me.
So I really don't think this is an us versus them issue.

This article is not even about creating life from scratch. get a grip people. It's about maturing eggs in the lab, which raises a whole host of other moral questions

That won't happen. You can't create something from nothing. Haven't you heard the scientific law, "Matter can neither be created nor destroyed". That means that even if they create it from scratch, they aren't creating it from nothing, like God can. God does not have to abide by the laws of the universe, so, what is your argument here?

How is ovarian banking technology creating life from scratch? They are still using the same materials, but in a different way.

Scientists don't have the technology at present to create life from scratch.

hello Brendan G:
100 of the worlds top scientist decided they could create life without God, so they said to God... "God"
God responded "Yes My child"
the scientist went on:
"we have come to the decision that we no longer need you to create life for us, as we are now smart enough to do it all ourselves, so thank you, but now leave us alone."
Then God Said..."ok"
so the scientist reached into his pocket and pulled out a container and said:
"ok, now all we will need to create life is a scoop of this dirt"
Then God Said "oh, no you dont, thats my dirt!... make your own dirt out of nothing"
"out of nothing at all?"
the scientist was speechless.

Even scientists will tell you that you have to have something to create something. They will never be able to create something from nothing, as God did with the universe.

Define 'from scratch'. Using already existing cells and life forms isn't creating, it's cloning.
