Attempts to control our own future and that of the world around us are, in part, attempts to deal with our fears and insecurities that arise from our distancing ourselves from God. Cloning is a new form of eugenics and results in the exercise of control over other s lives. Whether eugenics is pursued through politics and social revolution or through genetic means, there are those who inevitably end up as the desirable and others as the undesirable . A-sexual reproduction through cloning is dehumanizing and degrading found only in lower forms of life. How interesting, that we should strive to be more primitive in our pursuit of life rather than to accept the higher form of life God has given us.
Cloning threatens identity and individuality.
The loss of what might be called relational-biological relationships throws us into confusion and precipitates abandonment of mutual responsibility and obligation for one another as community. Cloning turns procreation into manufacture. Cloners will have exercised power over the cloned. It is inevitable that, as parents act as though they own their children, it will surely be inevitable that the cloner will claim ownership over the life of his clone. Children grow up and out of our control, but clones cannot outgrow us for they are us and not themselves.
