Atheist ? O.O' Why would you think that ? Actually, I'm ' rating pending ' at the current moment .

Anyway.. I REALLY disagree about cloning being an act of defiance. Again, if God didn't want us to do it he would intervene, or not have given us the mental power to comprehend such a feat.

I think you noticed that I inserted a small sentence which read : ' To those whom believe it ' . Meaning, not everyone does, and therefore, that statement was not directed to those who don't.
However *tries not to go into a Bible preaching* , I was taught that God gave us free will and a brain to go along with it.
With the free will, we asume ( or at least we should ) responsibility for our actions. We decide wether or not we want to do certain things.
With the brain, well, look what Mankind has accomplished. God will not intervene, or at least, that's what I think.


As for the overall thing : It may or may not be able to be done.
Personally, I think cloning disrupts the balance which is found in nature. Also, by cloning, only a small part of the problem will be solved. Have we forgotten that the ones who are presenting this new solution upon us are the same ones who brought the problem onto the world as well ? Mankind is responsible both for the loss, and now trying to be, for the recreation of lost beings.
Suppose cloning does in fact turn out to be a success... what then ? What about the big problem : What will prevent men from putting other species on the borderline of extinction ?
