esus being "begotton not made" relates to cloning. He states, "What the language of the Nicene Creed wanted to say was that the Son is God just as the Father is God" (4). If it had been said that God made Jesus it would have implied an inferiority that is not true.There are many supporters of cloning. Well Hello, Dolly is an article that supports cloning. Author Kenneth Paul Wesche, where he acts as Dr. Frankenstein, Jr., explains his reasons. In this article, Wesche raises the argument of God creating Adam and Eve in a slightly different light. It is noted that Adam and Eve were no less human than Cain and Abel (or anyone else) because of the manner in which they were created. The problem that this argument fails to realize is that God is able to use His infinite wisdom, whereas mortals are not capable of doing this.Another argument that he presents is that while the DNA material may be the same, just as with identical twins, that the personality would be different. While this is not proven, it is quite likely. The environment of one's community determines the personality much more so than one's genetic code. Wesche writes, "A human clone would be as much a human being as its donor, its personality would be distinct even if its essence and genetic make-up were identical to the donor's and therefore it would be possessed of all the value inherent in any personality" (276). Weiche again failed to realize that both twins are made by God's infinite wisdom, not by human wisdom. Where the cloned being may be unique, it is still manmade, and prone to error by its creator.The idea of creating life by controversial means is not a new idea. In vitro fertilization was a major concern to many people fifteen years ago. Dr. Kenneth D. Pimple, author of The Ethics of Human Cloning and the Fate of Science in a Democratic Society, views the two methods for creating life as quite similar. Dr. Pimple views that an objection that holds t...
