Words Fail Me

I wonder if there is a word for "ethics" in the Chinese language?

At this moment, words fail me to describe the revulsion I’m experiencing after reading about the latest Chinese cloning experiments at the New Scientist website.

While bio-ethicists wrangle with the rights and wrongs of cloning throughout most of the so-called, civilized Western world, the Dr. Frankensteins of Beijing have given Igor free reign of the laboratory.

Dozens, yes dozens, of human embryos have now been cloned behind the bamboo curtain. These ‘experiments’ are all being conducted in the name of medical research, of course. Officials in charge of the program promise that none of the short-lived test-tube duplicates will be brought to term.

For someone who is ardently pro-life, this was hard for me to celebrate.

But the further I delved into the story, the more confused the issue became. You see, these are not ordinary, assembly-line human beings that are being stamped out. They are part human…and part rabbit.

According to the article, the hybrid stem cells were being harvested "to make tissues for transplant patients and for research."

At last count, the grotesquely spliced DNA samples had multiplied to a total of 200 cells before growth was cut off.

Previously, scientists in South Korea had allowed human clones to divide only twice before pulling the plug on their experiments.

The danger here is that man has regressed morally in direct proportion to his intellectual progression. He is prepared to do anything, simply because he can, with no forethought as to the consequences arising from his devotion to pure science.

But mankind is ignoring Someone.

When God spoke the worlds into existence, He didn’t stutter. Animals and men were created on separate days. Never did He create a "rab-man" or a "hu-bit."

And if this kind of blatant disregard for the Creator and His will continue, it may not be long before God has the "final word."
