If dna survives the decomposition of the human body, then we should examine the ultimate cloning possibility. Let's scrape the Shroud of Turin for whatever tiny bits of human matter may still cling to that cloth, clone the dna and find out if the Man of the Shroud was just some 14th century monk, as carbon dating apparently reveals, or if he really was the Son of God. Then perhaps we could see what Jesus Christ would do today. Idaho All of Krauthammer's examples of possible subjects for cloning are men. While cloning is definitely a big deal scientifically, it should not be a big deal ethically.
Cloning is just another method of reproduction.
All this talk about re-creating a Hitler or an Einstein is baloney. While genetic characteristics such as height, hair color and sexual orientation may mirror the original, the thoughts and ideas of a clone will not. They are unique to each person. One day we will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. Our biological gestation period may be only nine months, but our spiritual, emotional and intellectual development lasts a lifetime.
