I just read an article on Yahoo about how some researchers in Tokyo are planning to clone a Mammoth. It sounds very interesting - but it's just crazy how a lot of people reacted, in the comments section below the article. This is my response, to them.
I find it interesting how many people seem to think that Humans are no longer a part of Nature. Why? Is it because we use tools? In that case, we should announce that most types of apes and monkeys are not part of nature, either. Is it because we make changes to our environment to make it easier for us to live? (Houses, apartment buildings, etc.) If so, then obviously the beaver should not be considered to be a part of nature, either - there is a beaver dam in Canada that can actually be seen from orbit, it's so big!
All creatures in nature strive to live in an environment that is more to it's liking. Moles dig tunnels in the yard and in the fields. Wild cats, of various types, climb trees, hunt and kill other animals, and even toy, cruelly, with their prey, if they're not so hungry as to begin eating before the prey is even dead!
With this technology, we (humans) can save, protect, and bring various species back from the brink of extinction. We can learn other ways to use cloning, as well. To modify the process to grow individual organs, so that transplant patients can be given their own organs, in perfect condition, instead of having to accept organs from someone else's dead body, and probably having to come back in 5 or 10 years to have yet another transplant done to replace the organ that their body knows doesn't belong.
This technology could save the world. Why would God be against it? It's a technology created by us, who are all creatures of nature, no matter how much we might want to deny it.
