You will, of course, have to explain what you mean here. I think that any scientist who thinks that they are taking over the role of god is delusional or they misunderstand both science and god. Cloning is not the creation of life, you see. If we were able to replace god, so to speak, we would be able to not only find the perfect natural laws, but also transcend them. Which we can't by definition.




Glad you picked up this angle. Ethics in animal studies (for example in teratogenic experiments) is one thing, but the ethics of animal exploitation is something I very obscurely allude to. More recently a friend of mine asserted that support for strong vegetarianism would be that produce animals are mass-bred specifically for exploitation as a meat product & commodity, which amounts to not respecting them as moral agents. Now I know this post isn't about animal rights, but it is worth noting that indeed, specisism should be considered...but in what way? The devil here is in the details.
