McGraw-Hill/ Irwin 13-6 Exhibit 13-B Where religions stand on human cloning The religious groups most strenuously opposed to human cloning were Roman Catholics and the Southern Baptists. The Catholic church saw cloning as an affront to human dignity. The Southern Baptists condemned cloning on the grounds that it was an assault on the family. Islamic religion opposed cloning children from women, since Islam was concerned with the paternal lineage of the child. Protestant faiths and most Jews were moderately opposed to cloning, although cloning is condoned under certain circumstances. Hindus and Buddhists generally approve of cloning, since they believed in reincarnation. Source: Hanna Rosin, “Though Shalt Not Clone?” Pittsburgh Post Gazette, July 26, 2000, p. A3.
