Re: Gene editing is a god-making plan or a challenge to morality？
From AI intelligence to gene editing, every step of humanity is moving toward creating God.
You must have an extraordinarily low opinion of your god if you think a computer program or genetically-enhanced person is anything close to His level.I think that people who are transformed by science and technology will lose their souls,
Why? What is your theological basis for thinking that?I am afraid of losing my soul.
I am afraid of you losing your soul too, but for different reasons. You worry me. You strike me as the kind of person who would kill genetically-enhanced people for the crime of existing. Are you that kind of person? Is that the "challenge to morality" you're referring to?I can't even adopt a cat without being doubtful that it's a natural one.
Housecats aren't natural, and natural cats do not make good pets, to put it mildly. Housecats, like all domestic animals, did not evolve by natural selection, but by artificial selection by human breeders in what is essentially a primitive form of genetic engineering. This was demonstrated by the Russian zoologist Dmitry Belyayev, who reproduced this process in foxes, and observed many changes in his foxes similar to the changes that distinguish domestic dogs from wolves. Just look at this fine specimen:
Her name is Zoya. Look how cute she is! Can you really deny this creature your love just because she's a genetic experiment?
