In it God seperates out, dark/light, night/day, wet/dry, sky/ground, male/female, human/animal. Latly our culture seems to want to destroy those distinctions in the case of the last two.<BR/><BR/>Interesting in the flood narrative God blurs the distinction between see and sky as a sort of uncreation, which of course is judgement on us.<BR/><BR/>Darren Moore, TranmereDarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361261497867599745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-79637093334407371112008-03-24T16:05:00.000+01:002008-03-24T16:05:00.000+01:00There is also the very important question raised a...There is also the very important question raised about the way we are being governed - a government which allows people to vote with their conscience provided their vote won't matter has raised important questions about democracy and its usefulness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590979027426082714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-58376595947830798382008-03-24T15:59:00.000+01:002008-03-24T15:59:00.000+01:00Some may feel - I would be one of them - that what...Some may feel - I would be one of them - that what has happened already is wrong. As Lord Alton has pointed out, there have been millions of 'spare' human embryos produced so far, and we have nothing to show for it in terms of cures, etc. There's also the question of "What next?"<BR/><BR/>The biggest issue, though, is not what it is doing to the embryos but what it is doing to <I>us</I>. If we become little better, in our thinking about our nature, than were the Nazis, or Francis Galton's Eugenicists before them, then we are in real trouble.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03590979027426082714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-22557553321868004552008-03-24T15:45:00.000+01:002008-03-24T15:45:00.000+01:00Sorry - forgot my name/location:Rosalind BrockLinc...Sorry - forgot my name/location:<BR/>Rosalind Brock<BR/>Lincoln College, OxfordRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997880442591920014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-79777079204467951442008-03-24T15:43:00.000+01:002008-03-24T15:43:00.000+01:00It seems to me that the Frankenstein/yuk factor he...It seems to me that the Frankenstein/yuk factor here has been exaggerated by Christians. Biologically nothing very different is happening than what has already been approved. The hybrid embryo I gather will behave more-or-less exactly as a human embryo, since all the important genetic material is in the nucleus of the hybrid, which is derived from the human "parent" cell. Surely the important point for those of us who believe that life begins at conception, is that all experimentation on human or "humanoid" embryos leads to the destruction of a human life, and so our opposition to the amendment to the bill is inconsequential compared to our opposition to the original bill.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997880442591920014noreply@blogger.com
