  1. 1Christianity teaches that all life is a precious [blank_start]gift[blank_end] from God. Another way of saying this is to call life sanctified, [blank_start]holy[blank_end] and/or sacred (i.e. human life is associated with the [blank_start]divine[blank_end]/God). Every person is of [blank_start]equal[blank_end] worth to God, although a person may do something which is [blank_start]better[blank_end] or worse than another person. It is also Christian belief that a human's [blank_start]age[blank_end], health or ability does not make the person more or less [blank_start]valuable[blank_end]; this is why the concept of the [blank_start]sanctity[blank_end] of life is so important in considering [blank_start]medical[blank_end] ethics.
    The sanctity of life means that we should be treated with [blank_start]respect[blank_end] as an act of worship to God. Any [blank_start]mistreatment[blank_end] of the human body, for example through the use of illegal drugs, goes completely against this religious teaching an is [blank_start]unacceptable[blank_end] to believers. Christians believe that each person should [blank_start]honour[blank_end] God through their bodies and in the way that they live their [blank_start]lives[blank_end], and that God not only gives life but he [blank_start]sustains[blank_end] it and guides people in each situation they are in, if they have [blank_start]faith[blank_end] in him.

  4. 4The Doctrine of [blank_start]Double[blank_end] Effect suggests that if doing something [blank_start]morally[blank_end] good has a morally bad side-effect, it is [blank_start]ethically[blank_end] okay to do it providing the bad side-effect was not [blank_start]intended[blank_end]. This is true even if you foresaw that the bad [blank_start]effect[blank_end] would [blank_start]probably[blank_end] happen.

  5. 5Therapeutic cloning is....
    1. A.... using stem cells, typically taken from an embryo, to regrow dead or damaged cells, or grow entire organs.
    2. B.... a type of fertility treatment in which sperm from the husband is injected into the wife's womb.
    3. C.... artificially creating a life form (e.g. a human being) that is genetically identical to another.
  6. 6The vast majority of Christians are opposed to human reproductive cloning because by creating human life in a laboratory, particularly if it is for a purpose such as harvesting organs, we undermine the sanctity and dignity of human life. Also, it could be considered unnatural and so contrary to God's will and so morally wrong.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  7. 7Catholics are firmly [blank_start]opposed[blank_end] to any form of therapeutic cloning that uses stem cells harvested from an [blank_start]embryo[blank_end]. This is because Catholics believe that life begins at [blank_start]conception[blank_end] and so harvesting stem cells from an embryo is equivalent to an act of [blank_start]murder[blank_end] and an insult to the sanctity of human life. "To create embryos with the intention of [blank_start]destroying[blank_end] them, even with the intention of helping the sick, is completely incompatible with human [blank_start]dignity[blank_end]." However, Catholics have no issue with, and support, any form of [blank_start]therapeutic[blank_end] cloning that doesn't harm the source of any stem cells used.
    On this issue, Anglicans are not as strict as Catholics, being [blank_start]accepting[blank_end] of therapeutic cloning that uses stem cells harvested from embryos when it is for the treatment of a '[blank_start]serious[blank_end] condition', 'absolutely [blank_start]necessary[blank_end]' and 'once all other avenues have been explored'. This [blank_start]flexibility[blank_end] may have been justified by the Anglican teaching that an embryo doesn't have a right to life until it is [blank_start]14[blank_end] days old and Jesus' teachings on love and [blank_start]compassion[blank_end] ('Love thy neighbour as [blank_start]thyself[blank_end]' - Mark 12:[blank_start]31[blank_end]).
