The colony will then produce the protein in large amounts. Cloning has been used to produce some human hormones (notably insulin), some proteins for vaccines, and interferon, a substance with the potential to treat viral infections. Other valuable aids to treatment are also genitacially engineered, Factor VIII (a protein used to treat Hemophilia) and TPA ( a substance that dussolves blood clots). If genitic engineering can be used for so many purposes, and has the capability to save so many lives, then it should be eagerly welcomed. Some however are still skeptical:.

             "Many science and medical discoveries endorse some human freedom or trancended narure. But for us to change substantially the germ-lined DNA is to directly alter the genitics of a human. In what ways do we, by manipulating our genes in other than simple ways, change ourselves to something less than human? If we accept this power do we have the wisom to use it?. (World Council of Churches, 1992).

             This is a common question amoung many people. Skeptics feel that the human mind cannot possibly control such an awesome responsibility. Nobody really knows if it can, but cloning is becoming more and more popular. It is becoming more and more common and the perplexity of its potential is no longer being recongnized. People who favor cloning have no idea of the potiential disaster that it could cause, and people who are aganist the idea have no idea of what good it could do, or how many lives it could save. Hopefully people will realize the power and responsibility that comes with cloning before its too late. Another controversy surronding genetic engineering is that of ethics. The biblical view of genitic engineering is seen as this:.

             "From Auschwitz to Hiroshima to love canal humanity has been decisively demonstrated that its technological powers overwhelm its capacties for moral judgment. The genetic engineering of human life, if allowed to proceed, will quickly trespass any well intentioned boundries and guidelines" (Manipulating Life, pg.
