This process will take several days, as did the creation of real life in Genesis. God created the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh. This is how the cloning process with happen. Although the reproduction of the new species will take months, the process of developing new DNA and cloning will take only a few days. At first, people may not believe this is possible, but seeing is believing, as is the basis of Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
On the first day, the species will be brought into the lab and a strand of its DNA will be extracted. For this experiment, we are cloning a male human being. This DNA will be the basis for the newborn. To have a successful experiment, the newborn's DNA will need to be the same as the DNA of the male. The strand of this DNA will contain the intelligence of the age of the male which is was taken from. This male will be 20 years old, so the newborn's intelligence level will be that of a 20 year old.
On the second day, the sperm will be joined with an egg in a test tube. This will then be set in an environment at which fertilization can take place. There will be several days allotted for this.
After fertilization has taken place, the embryo will be placed in the female and allowed to mature until the baby is born. Once the baby is born, the DNA should match that of the 20 year old's. If this is true, the male has been cloned. Not only will there be a copy of another human being on Earth, but the baby will attain the intelligence of his or her clone. In this case, the 20 year old male.
If this experiment and creation of artificial life proves successful, then our human race has access to a whole new meaning of life. I believe this will create the urge in humans to create as many of "them" as possible. This might be just because they are interested in this area, now that we have access to it, but if too many clones are created, our world will be replicated, in a way.
In a way, this creation or cloning will create an awareness of several things. Although these people will still be human, they will be clones. I believe that the "real" human population will either be able to tell who are the clones and become aware about the differences between themselves compared to the clones, or become aware of how similar everyone on Earth is. People will also become aware of the type of technology that is needed to create clones. I think scientists will go crazy creating clones once this is figured out, which will make everyone very aware of the type of technology it takes to clone.

Rachael -- I could see this happen. Or we might use clones as organ replacements so that we might never day.
ReplyDeleteSo what parallels do you find with genesis?
