"Why complain about my unanswered question when you don't answer the questions put to you first?"

It is clear that you have ethics based on something you've worked out for yourself. My ethics are based on scripture. Therefore, we cannot possibly understand the 'logic' of the other. I say it's sick and evil because humans were created in the image of God. You say "Hey, as long as they are doing something that some day might be used to help someone, it's all good." (Or something to that effect.)

Because I haven't answered in the way you'd like me to, you consider the questions unanswered. My answers aren't going to change just because you demand that they do. So it seems our discussion has become circular.

You may post back to me if you wish, but I prefer not to spend any more time running the hamster wheel with you.

Have a nice day.

So I guess mirrors are evil too, then.

The manufacture of gloves is evil because humans were created in the image of God.

The production and sale of contact lenses is evil because humans were created in the image of God.

Driving cars is evil because humans were created in the image of God.

Rabbits are evil because humans were created in the image of God.

Barney the dinosaur is evil because humans were created in the image of God.

Microscopic carbonaceous chondrite dust particles in chaotic orbits around binary star systems are evil because humans were created in the image of God.


*Anybody* can play this game, and for any cause. Only when you choose to use clear, objective standards as a basis for makign decisions can you be taken seriously. "Because humans were created in the image of God," even if absolutely true, provides absolutely no guidance whatsoever.

> Because I haven't answered in the way you'd like me to

No... you haven't answered *at* *all*.

> I prefer not to spend any more time running the hamster wheel with you....

... because humans were created in the image of God.
