« on: April 09, 2011, 03:23:11 PM »christians don't like cloning because the science fiction movies all make it look like its evil, the only part of cloning that would logically conflict with the religion is destroying an embryo for the stem cellsNo, it's not because of the movies, but it's the latter of your sentence.

Public Opinion Poll
Cloning
1. Do you think cloning is purely science fiction?
Yes
No
2. Would you be surprised if someone told you it was possible?
Yes
No
3. Without any prior knowledge of the cloning process, would you believe it was ethical?
Yes
No
4. Do you believe cloning produces a completely identical figure?

Yes
No

Yes
No
8. Does question 7 make you wonder why you couldn’t just clone a human and use their heart?
Yes
No

Yes
No

Yes
No
11. Stem cells can form any type of tissue in the body. Do these seem like the logical choice to help cure disease?

Yes
No
24. Would you be opposed to the genetic modification of cattle and other food-source animals to improve their quality?
Yes
No
25. Would you be opposed to the genetic modification of humans?
Yes
No
26. If a special genetic modification procedure could be performed to cure a fatal disease you have, would you accept the procedure?
Yes
No
27. Do you believe cloning is a natural crime?
Yes
