Illegal Beings: Human Clones
Site of the Human Soul
libfemme ( 12/27/2004, 12:31:09 )Some people decry the death of every egg used during cloning. It's outrageous, they claim, that hundreds of eggs died in failed attempts to make Dolly the clone of a sheep. For human eggs such a large number would be unacceptable.This is because a egg is a person? Suppose the "egg" that you use is not a human one? Suppose it's a rabbit egg. Is it immoral to kill rabbits? We eat rabbits. We decry anything that "breeds like rabbits", so is it immoral to let a rabbit egg die?Suppose we take the nucleus out of the rabbit cell, so that it is nothing but cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is the "stuff" inside a cell, water mostly, plus proteins and sugar molecules and organelles.In short everything but the "instructions" on how to make more cytoplasm stuff.And suppose we take DNA out of human cell, one which is already dead. A sloughed off skin cell, say. We have billions of them. We leave them on glass rims and doorknobs and on washclothes. Skin cells die constantly. Suppose we take the nucleus, the DNA, from one of these dead skin cells and inject it into the rabbit cytoplasm.Is it a rabbit or a human cell now? Suppose the cell dies. It the death of a rabbit or a human cell?It you say that it is a human cell, then the part of an egg that is sacred is DNA. Does the soul then reside in DNA?
