Controversy of Cloning and DNA
I am writing in reference to the possible upcoming technology of cloning humans and altering DNA tissue makeup of the unborn child. This issue will come before Congress for approval or disapproval in the near future. This technology would allow scientists to alter the tissue of a future infant in regards to physical characteristics such as height, appearance, intelligence, and birth defects. It is disturbing to think that such alteration of DNA could be allowed to pass through Congress as a bill. Cloning and DNA tissue alteration, though there may seem to be positive and worldly aspects, is, in my opinion morally wrong and corrupt according to Gods word, the Bible.

There also is the aspect of the cost of cloning and DNA alteration of humans. Understandably, it would be quite costly and many would not be able to afford it. There also would be no real guarantee of success. Once past the moral issue, this really wouldn't be a fair issue either since it would discriminate against the less fortunate. Granted, it certainly on the surface sounds appealing and exciting to love more intelligent, more attractive people in this world. To have little or no birth defects would miraculous. However, if everyone in this world were "perfected" in human eyes by cloning and DNA alteration. This environment would be much more dull and boring place. People, in their various different ways, make this world an exciting place to live. In closing, I would respectfully request that Congress carefully study this idea of cloning and DNA alteration. With a through study, it is felt lik
