Does God approve of cloning and genetic research?
DNA is one of God's masterpieces, and the Bible repeatedly tells us that He takes great pride in His handiwork. I'm sure the Lord doesn't approve of man trying to monkey around with His creation.
It is a noble cause to try to use genetic research to find cures for various illnesses that plague mankind. Unfortunately, the cause of disease can't be found by looking under a microscope.
Because cancer and other forms of deformities are the results of the curse of sin, I believe that scientists are probably wasting their time in trying find cures. In the end, their efforts will either amount to nothing or they will invoke God's wrath.
What a wonderful attitude these people have.
Any shred of tolerance I may have had remaining for fundamentalist viewpoints have just gone out the window. Stuff like that truly sickens me.
And then this morning, I saw that dubya has gone and done

US President George W Bush has vetoed a controversial bill which would have lifted a ban on federal funding for new embryonic stem cell research.
(sigh) Yes it would be a truly terrible thing if we actually tried to do something to find a cure for those awful diseases. After all, it's all our fault!
