Cloning

yea but what will u do if ur son is going to die and u can save him by cloning him will u do it?
First of all, like Kyrillos said, if your son is going to die, then his time has come, and nobody can stop that. Then you would be trying to interfere with the will of God, and that is impossible.
Now, if you have a normal person to clone, that is also wrong. It is not our job to make ppl, that's God's.
if your son is gonnadie then God whats him to die and his time has come and you can't stop it.
I agree with that totally....but lets say a Donor just came in willing to give your son a transplant that could save his life would u do it?.....
......Now lets say that transplant wasnt able to come in time and your son is lying on a bed and your watching him about to close his eyes and die.....but.... doctor has just informed you that there is another way to save him.....they can clone ....not your son but the transplant (such as a liver). They can clone the liver and save your son.
Now remember...they arent cloning your son...but only the organ that he needs to live.....what would you say to that?....
(by the way i decided to add this just to spice things up a little...hope nobody minds)
GOD BLESS U!

Oh I get, you want to confuse me don't you? Lol, jp. In this case I think you can because you're only cloning the liver, not the whole body. See, a liver can't walk and talk and breathe, only the human can. And only in a human will a liver work. When you clone a liver you are not cloning life, which is what you would be doing when you clone a whole being. The whole reason we can't clone humans because only God creates life, but a liver isn't life, only a human.
and anyways if God wants that person 2 die, however he will because it's God's will!! and whatever u do won't affect it in anyway just wat God wants!
is it like if your parents have cloned u and when u grow up then u'll realize that u r going 2 hell any way!!!
will u accept this?
it's just a really high topic, like i mean u need priests,bishops and those ppl to talk about it!

Actually, regarding cloning just an organ for a transplant, this is still frowned upon. Why you might say? Because in order for a certain tissue to be recreated, ie. a liver, you need stem cells. Most stem cells that are able to become organs are those stem cells of aborted fetuses, which in fact, is frowned upon in our church. We do not support abortion. So, at the end of the day, I think cloning anything is against the will of God. Just my opinion. Forgive me.

Oh you have to abort a baby to clone a organ? Then I guess you can't clone anything for that matter...
Mark
about stem cells: my dad is a doctor and he said it doesnt have to be from an aborted fetus and even if it is its only like a billion cells which is really insignificant.
