Illegal Beings: Human Clones
Could Jesus be a clone? Isaac a test tube baby?
SC ( 10/17/2003, 08:15:22 )I didn't mention the Adam and Eve thing because I thought someone else already had. I think the best candidate to be a true clone would be Jesus, because Joseph is not his biological father and Mary might not be his biological mother. When God's your father, of course, nothing has to be biological anyway.Cloning does not have to be used only to create a duplicate of one parent. There is current research being done which suggests that stem cells can be made to turn into eggs and sperm, so cloning could also be used to make a test tube baby from people who can't produce eggs and sperm in the usual way. The combination of these would produce a baby that came from cloned cells, but is conceived in the same way as one produced sexually; that is, it would be the biological child of both parents. Isaac would be the best Biblical parallel I can think of for such a process, because he seems to be both Abraham's and Sarah's child but he is conceived with God's help after many years of infertility, when both his parents are advanced in age.I don't know much about Islam, but I've been told that some Muslim people believe the Messiah will be born of a man. Since we are on the way to producing both eggs and sperm from male stem cells, this would theoretically allow a child to be descended from two men.
