| . Adultery is a sin of lust. Therefore if the women never has sex outside of her marriage how can she have committed adultery with a sperm being placed in a Petri dish with her egg. That is crazy. For couples that can't reproduce I feel that IV fert. is a very great inception. However, if the couple feels it is too weird or whatever respect should be given to them and I respect people who feel it is problematic too. Now for the problem with cloning. The fact is that humans are imparted with a soul. Most feel takes place upon inception. Since cloning doesn't do this in the true method who's to guarantee a soul. This point can easily be debated however so there is much more reasons as well. There is something that is truly miraculous about birth for all the amazing things that can so easily go wrong in a pregnancy. This is a gift that has been given to us from God or nature whichever you attribute. Shouldn't we hold this sacred and not mess with it. Instead we will all be one person in a hundred years. No one will be mixed with different genes, disease will easily get rid of us. See the great thing about today is different people groups are marrying and birthing causing gene swapping which is extremely healthy. It helps us grow adapt to illnesses and helps wipe out mutations. I feel God or nature wanted this and intended this. Now for Dolly the sheep it was my understanding that she aged EXTREMELY rapid and basically kept the age of the one cloned at her birth. If that makes sense. So say I'm 60 and I'm cloned then the child born will be 60 in a babies body. That is at least how I take it. Plus how do we even know if any of these cloned fetuses would make it. Most would probably be still born if I had to guess.
Question 10. Well this whole course work affected me in a lot of ways. The first few writers really had little effect on me except for Nietzsche which helped me to better understand myself and better understand another worldview. However, I learned most from the ethical topics. From animal rights I fully understand where vegetarians are coming from now. I used to think it was just a joke or a psychopathic response to something they had seen and that it wasn�t to be taken seriously. I never understood how anyone could be a vegetarian because of how great meat tasted. But now I understand much better and want to learn more. I hope I can adapt to some of their lifestyles because of several reasons that I have. I still want to research more before joining them though. When it comes to abortion I saw another point of view I hadn�t seen before and that was Singers viewpoint which is definitely grey. I�ve never heard of anyone�s point being that grey before as most everyone is either stone cold pro choice or stone cold pro life. So that was interesting and caused much reflection. I also learned an extremely large amount from Euthanasia. I never realized it was legal in the Netherlands nor Oregon until I read his book. I also never understood why Dr. Kevorkian was such a huge deal back then. Now that I�m older all this makes great sense and I understand the debate a lot more now and am now pro PAS. I definitely think there must be regulation to it but I would welcome it to be legalized. And Gandhi wow, I never knew how great he really was. I heard of him and heard people say great things about him but never understood why. After reading his book I learned a lot about dealing with problems, dealing with abuses, and dealing with people in this world. I can�t wait to finish the whole book during the summer. |
