Conclusion

after doing the homework assignment of rewriting multiple conclusions. I think my final one may be something like this:

"How would you feel if someone wrecked your artwork which took days to make?  Genetic engineering and cloning ruins Gods plan of creation.  The bible may not directly talk about this matter, but through interpretation we can conclude it is wrong. The bible's text never changes making all our interpretation on the subject very similar. Christians will never support genetic engineering and coning." 

..................................editing is still needed......................................

Introduction/conclusion:

I have signed up for the extension on my research paper.  I don't know if i will use it or not yet. I am thinking I will since i am struggling to do the English homework of writing the conclusion and introduction.  I feel it is difficult to write the conclusion before the rest of the paper. I also didn't even finish my research. this is what my conclusion looks like :

"Although there is different interpretations, the bible’s text is never changed.  Since Christians believe in the bible, they will never support Genetic engineering or cloning. This technology does not support gods plan of creation. Christians will never agree with genetic engineering or cloning."

ehhhhhhhh..... i need more research time

The Clone Farm

Recently in English we have read "Welcome to the Clone Farm" by Karl Plume.  This article was very interesting to me since I am a fan of cows.  I live in the small town of Alden surrounded by many farms.  There is nothing better than walking out the door, smelling the fresh air, and hearing the cows "moo".  the article talks about cloning of cows and the effects it has on its milk and meat.......none. It also talks about the consumer acceptance.  I have mixed feeling on the cloning of cows due to my own acceptance of their products.  I know there is nothing wrong with their milk and meat, but it still seems like there is the possibility of something going wrong and the products could become toxic. Kind of funny really, but I understand why the society would have difficulty accepting their products. 

How should a Christian view genetic engineering?

http://www.gotquestions.org/genetic-engineering.html

• explains it is hard to determine the answer since the bible does not directly talk about the matter.  this technology was not around in its time. many references to the bible to give best answer.
• physical health, are we using our bodies correctly?
• we can impact creation with our sin
• creation is not our job
• GE can not clean us and get us to heaven, only through jesus
• seen as trying to overpower God
• could worship technology instead of God

Cloning and genetic engineering

http://www.pub.ac.za/factfiles/cloning.php

What is genetic engineering?

What is cloning?

How are clones made?

Adult stem cells versus embryonic stem cells

Potential uses of cloning

Problems with cloning techniques

Where is cloning allowed?

so obviously this article is just dealing with the basics on Genetic Engineering and cloning. a good source for defining these terms. 

RESEARCH

I am most definitely am going to write about christian views on cloning and genetic engineering.  since my topic is final, my future posts will have links to articles that i may use as references in my paper. they may also include the main points of the article to make it easier for me to organize.

Stem Cells

In the last English class we have talked about two articles dealing with stem cells. One was by Lisa Winter and the other by Michaeleen Doucleff......funny last name lol. Anyway the articles were quite confusing so i di not get very much out of them. It did not help that we had very little time to to read them. For homework we were assigned to write the first paragraph of our research paper. So I have wrote the main idea point and theises........."Many religions disagree with the idea of cloning and genetic engineering. Christianity is most definitely one of them. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of DNA to produce the characteristics wanted.  Cloning is the coping of humans. Cloning and genetic engineering are very similar dealing with DNA.  Christians never support genetic engineering and cloning.  The bible, along with other references, can be used to explain why cloning and genetic engineering is wrong."

Research project:

I have decided to stick with my original idea of religious views on genetic engineering.  But i will be more specific and focus on the religion of Christianity. I believe i will be able to find plenty of christian based opinions on the subject along with some references from the bible. I think i will also focus on the negative side due to my own opinion.  This will also allow for my own thoughts to be expressed. 

Research paper:

I can not seem to decide on a definite topic.  My first thought is to build of off my topic from my rhetorical analysis. This had to do with ethics of genetic engineering and religious views on the topic. I like this topic because I would be able to incorporate many of my own thoughts.  I am not certain this is what the project is calling for though.
