Human Cloning Is Right Around The Corner

While a handful of countries have been successful so far in prohibiting efforts to clone human embryos, fertility specialist Panayiotis Zavos says he has cloned 14 embryos and has implanted 11 of them into the wombs of 4 different women……..having no success yet in producing a cloned human being.

It is certainly a sign of our times and some say a definite red flag that we are living in “the last days”. Whether you choose to think we are in the End Times is your decision but it is difficult to argue that we might just be messing with things God never intended. I’m not going to pretend that I know the mind of God and his detailed plans for all of us but the idea of cloning humans certainly raises a lot of questions far beyond simple moralistic values.

Just as troubling is the fact that while some of us struggle with the whole concept, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of people interested in human cloning.

Despite a lower profile over the past five years, scores of couples are said to have approached Dr Zavos hoping that he will help them to overcome their infertility by using the same cloning technique that was used to create Dolly the sheep in 1996.

He said: ‘I get enquiries every day. To date we have had over 100 enquiries and every enquiry is serious. The criteria is that they have to consider human reproductive cloning as the only option available to them after they have exhausted everything else.’

It is simple to quickly see the abuses that can come from human cloning, particularly for selfish and financial reasons but when the discussion changes to a spiritual nature, some have questioned whether a cloned human would actually be a human being, a spiritual human being possessing a soul. Would it?

Of course we can find “good” things that cloning can do for us but any good pales in comparison to the evil that will flourish. Hitler attempted to create the perfect society through extermination of certain races. Successful cloning can go much farther than that.
