I never said that at all, i was saying maybe HE wanted us to do it, or can you remind me of the bit in the bible that says genetic engineering is a sin?
HE's obviously an advanced genetic engineer, maybe part of this whole experiment of his (us) is to see what we can do with it...

Naturally the Bible doesn't say anything about genetic engineering, seeing as it was written by people who lived between 2 and 4,000 years ago. But its principles for living are more important in this repect than its historical setting. I can post more fully on this once I'm home this evening with a copy of the Bible and more time to think ... currently sitting at a desk at work with a rapidly cooling baked potato.

Suffice it to say for now that I'm confident God does not want us to start genetically engineering people.

Just read this story in a couple of the national papers and on BBC News online.

I am absolutely staggered that people can sink as low as this. Has no-one stopped to ponder the utter futility of aborting a child 'cos he/she is unwanted, and then using that child's body to produce babies for people who want them?

We don't need amoral science to solve the problem of people wanting kids but not being able to have them. Society has had a solution for generations. It's called ADOPTION.

Instead of denying children their human rights firstly by killing them and secondly by causing them to have children of their own without their consent, why don't we replace abortion with adoption?

Human life is fundamentally devalued by this. We are being relegated to the status of worthless DNA to be cultured or destroyed on a whim.

why the hell dont you people see its wrong the whole idea of this type of tampering is morally incorrect no matter how useful or life saving it is and the link {FU}Fubar has posted shows that i did say it would get out of hand and yes its SICK

I really don't see what the fuss is about!!!! The technology is there. It was her choice. Others were willing to help her reach a goal she longed for. Nobody has been forced to do anything they don't want to.

Glad to see you are looking at this calmly and rationally

I think people will just have to respect each others opinions and agree to differ on this emotive issue.

Apart from the child of course, who had no say in the matter.

Or how clinically depressed might that child be, growing up thinking, 'mummy and daddy don't really love me, they only had me to save my brother. He's their favourite.' ?

We are not playing with ethically neutral bits of self-replicating chemicals here. Children are people with emotions, and the correct emotions are not so easy to engineer.
