The drastic changes that society could be forced to deal with could cause problems for the creature, but more so for society. Learning to deal with a being that knows it is the only creature not reproduced sexually would be difficult. Learning to deal with the creature is not the only problem that society must accept.

As Kilner notes, "human beings, made in the image of God, have a God-given dignity that prevents us from regarding other people merely as means to fulfill our desires" (10).
