Dear Editor,
First of all, “scientists agree that mutations cannot transform an original species of plant or animal into an entirely new one.” Nowadays genetic screening is a common practice. Laws now passed where people can walk into Fertility Laboratory Clinics and choose their future child.
The future embryo is scanned with a computer to see which one will be selected by the future parents to be implanted in the mother’s womb or develop outside the womb. In this master piece of genetic engineering, high technological computers are going through thousands of genes with DNA to be available for future parents. During this process many embryos are destroyed.
Do you remember “Dolly” the sheep? Dolly was created in 1979, and was the first cloned sheep. She died in 2015. Her pair is still living today. Then Alice was developed outside the womb in a test tube. However, embryos can be scanned onto a computer to let parents see what their future child will look like. Is not this amazing for parents today?
On the other side society can end up with designer children. There may be more Hitler, Robotic cops, and more disability children. We may also end up breeding human with weird contraptions such as people with wings or a man with an animal head. On the good side doctors will be able to see if a foetus has a disorder and can help the child born with an excellent immune defensive system, free from AIDS, cancer, diabetes and prostate diseases.
Charles Darwin, in his book The Origin of Species... said I view all beings not as special creations, but as lineal descendants of some few beings. Nonsense! Do you believe that all creatures gradually evolved from a common ancestor? Now let us read what God said in Genesis 1: 11, 12, 26, and 27. Genesis 1: In the beginning God created the heaven and earth, a direct statement from God. God stressed in 11 and 12 that the earth will bring forth fruit trees yielding fruits after his hands whose seed is in itself, and no other species.
In 26 and 27, God created man in his own image, not by mutations or cloning. God did not create people as gadgets or some marketing tools. Genetic engineering is big business and gears to huge profits. Imagine saying to a molecular biologist that you need a child with weird contraptions, what kind of society are we going to have? Nowadays fruits are produced without seeds, read Genesis 11 and 12 again about these seedless fruits.
Many of these fruits are beautiful on the outside and rot in the inside, avocados and mangoes are typical examples of genetically cloned foods. Most of these are not naturally produced they are cloned or mutated species, not real. We heard of genetically modified foods, medicines and crops – remember these cannot be transformed entirely into the original. They are not the same as the original or naturally produced.
