Rabbi Shraga Simmons. “Cloning”. June 3rd, 2008. Aisha.com – “So… is cloning good or bad? Judaism says there is nothing in the world that is inherently good or evil; there is only the potential for good and evil. Even something we typically associate as “bad” – for example, outrage – can be used for good – outrage against injustice. Similarly, even something we typically associate as “good” – for example, giving – can be used for bad – over-giving, or smothering. Talent, education and wisdom only have potential.”
