Genetic Engineering - Right in your relgigious eyes ???

[Nuka-Cola]

My question is what do you think of genetic engineering from a religious point of view.

My opinion is that god created us in his image and that if we change the genetics of a human being to whatever we like then this is no longer gods image. However i do like the idea of using it SOLEY for removing things like disabilities.

Just wondering what you think of it ???

i think religion is a load of ******** so i dont care if its used or not

[Ezzie.]

We were made in God's image then we fell from grace when Eve consumed the apple. Hence we may look like God but our attributes, our jealousy our greed are nothing like his.

So who gives a flying **** as it'll help alot of people's lives
Plus God is a nonexistant idiot.

if you change the 'religious point of view' into something different so that people would give their honest opinion on the matter, this debate might actually get somewhere. Good idea btw.

I personally think that it's a good idea to use stem-cell research which may help cure diseases in the future. I have a very basic view on the science around it so I'm not going to embarass myself. I am sure, however, that there are some ethical guidelines that scientists would have to follow so the whole 'religion' argument, I don't really understand. Anyone?

edit: oh it's in the religion forum lol. well that explains that :p. Would have made a good debate

It depends what they use it for really if it was to be used to help cure a deadly illness I'd have no problem with it

[DrLacero]

I think all religions are based on flawed ideals and those who put their faith in such ideals are idiotic. Genetic engineering is sheer brilliance and people who blieve in "God" are holding back such brilliant sciences.

I don't have a religious point of view - so yes, I'm fine with 'Genetic Engineering' as long as it benefits us, for example finding cures, making food suitable for harsher environments etc.

I agree with you if its to help people with disabilites then it should be fine but to use it to change looks and cleverness= no
