K here's my take on Abortion and Cloning from a religious aspect which you might not have heard. First Dr. Alfred Blaylock and Dr. Vivian Thomas. Two wonderful doctors who literally saved hundreds of millions of lives and someone in your families life has been saved cause of what these two did. They found a cure for shock and they were the first ones EVER to do anything with the heart. They did the first ever heart surgery. But while they were doing this research the first child they saved was a baby who had a heart problem and a priest came to Dr. Blaylock and said you are going against the will of God by saving this child, it was God's will tht this child die. I say that it was God's will that the child live, God provided a means for life through technology. So Abortion is wrong cause it kills a human. What is the requirement to be human? You must have a soul. "You don't have a soul, you are a soul, you have a body"- C.S. lewis. So Abortion kills a soul. And why is cloning wrong because your making a human with no soul. Well in cases of Abortion couldn't God (The ALL-KNOWING GOD) knowing abortion was going to happen, simply deny that unborn fetus a soul and in the case of cloning couldn't God provide that clone with a soul? I believe that is not out of God's power nor against his rules. By the way I only endorse Abortion in cases where the mother's life is in danger. In these cases I think God could deny the fetus a soul so she wouldn't have to commit murder. All other cases sorry it's murder, I don't think God would deny a fetus a soul simply because you don't want it. And cloning I think it's very possible God could provide a clone a soul. Let me know your thoughts!
