The Vatican on Thursday
slammed the cloning of two monkeys in China.
"Not everything that is possible is right," said Msgr
Vincenzo Paglia, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life.
"We must always consider the effects of our interventions on
the ecosystem and weigh the risk of making mistakes in the
management of new know-how which may in the future lead us to
interventions on the human body," said the Vatican's pointman on
bioethics.
The head of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI), Cardinal
Angelo Bagnasco said the case was "further proof of that kind of
will to power, of mania of omnipotence that is growing".
"I wonder whether it really leads to solutions. I rather
think that the result attained is only an affirmation of self".
