"Goodness is everything that conforms to God’s Laws; evil is everything that is contrary to this. Therefore, to do good is to proceed in accordance with God’s Law. To commit evil is to infringe this law."
How is cloning achieved? In lay terms it is sufficient and intelligible to say that scientists in laboratory, having taken a living cell, are then able to induce a system of ‘regression’ till it goes back to the embryonic stage, in other words the ontogenesis of the cell. From this point it is sometimes possible to acquire an embryo and then go on to recreate the usual sequence of growth, cell by cell, atom by atom.
However, there is more to this than just the material cells, atoms, and eventual organs because apparently it lacks the Life Force! But this cannot be, because without LIFE nothing can grow or exist for any length of time. So what of this? We can create material bodies, but the scientist cannot create the Life Force or spiritual essence essential to continued life and constant healthy growth. Therefore we must understand that just as babies born naturally (either animal or human) in their mother’s womb have a Spirit, so the Clone must have a Spirit.
Within the Spiritist Teachings much has been done in the field of science and research and it has long been known that a Spirit will become ‘attached’ to the new embryo at the moment of conception. With a
Cloning, it can be no different. Nevertheless, the circumstances are very
different and varied, resulting in a large number of failures within the
laboratory. But if the Clone is to grow and become a being it must have
a spirit attached to it, either animal or human.
For it is the ever present spirit that is responsible for the actual formation of that body. Each new cell must be triggered off at the given moment, so that the new body is slowly but completely formed. Here it can also been seen how some bodies are badly formed, or not complete, causing the natural abortion of a foetus. Every pregnancy must go through all of the various building stages, directed by the incoming spirit designated for that particular body. If there is a hiccup not intended, then the pregnancy
will terminate.
However, frequently these situations are part of the incarnation plan,
when some abnormality is necessary for that particular spirit, which
may also stem from the acquired genetic structure and not necessarily
triggered by the incoming spirit. Be it animal or human, as the spirit
essence attaches to the forming foetus this then becomes enveloped by
the perispirit (or astral body) which acts as the go-between, thus allowing
the spiritual essence to act upon the physical matter. Within science
there is much that can and will be done in the field of animal cloning that
will bring many benefits for man, such as compatible organs for
transplants thus avoiding rejection; and for the animal kingdom the
possibility of continuing species on the verg
e of extinction, etc.
However, the area of human cloning it rather different, with many aspects needing further consideration. It is interesting to note here that Nature has always created clones. Identical twins being the completed example of this, but then Nature knows what it is doing! Let us also note that although twins may be very similar in character, they are never identical, nor are their fingerprints.
It is also significant to remember a statement made in the book ‘Evolucao em Dois Mundos’ (Evolution in Both Worlds) by Dr. Andre Luiz (Spirit) received through the famous Brazilian writing medium Francisco Candido Xavier. This doctor states that some time in the distant future humans will no longer be required to go through the troublesome and painful process of birth as we know it today. That when loving affections are widely understood and practised by all humanity on the planet, on a
daily basis, then the process of reincarnating will happen within
laboratories who specialise in this very special and sensitive work, and
that the whole event will be achieved in a much shorter time. He also
reports that the growth period of childhood will also be greatly shortened,
because it will no longer be the necessity of learning that it is today.
We finalise our brief comments with the words of Dr. Sergio Felipe de
Oliveira, a Brazilian doctor graduated from the University of Sao Paulo,
who is a Researcher at the Scientific and Biochemical Institute of that
same University. He is also Director of the Department for Mental
Health of AME-SP and Clinical Director of the PINEAL-MIND
HEALTH INSTITUTE IN Sao Paulo.
His comments are taken from an article on Cloning taken from the book “Saude e Espiritismo” (Health and Spiritism) published by the Medical-Spiritist Association of Brazil.
“Useful Cloning is always done from the spiritual world, within the
Natural Laws. Orthodox Science is concentrated in Europe and the USA
and these countries do not respect the embryo. When there is no respect, there is no capacity for perception and Science needs perception.
In the USA 30% of all gestations are aborted. This generates a human
disturbance of the ambient and also a very great anthropological problem
as well. I believe that the problem of human cloning lies here. Science has no ethics to deal with embryos, so how can it discuss rationally the
cloning of human beings? Surely unconditional respect for life must
come first? We can only begin to understand human cloning when Science has become enlightened through the discovery of the Spirit and when it begins to work towards the spiritual elevation of humanity.”
