Description[?]:
| "- 1) HUMAN BEING IS ABSOLUTE. 1.a) Human being has to be absolute. In the end human being, and that means every single man, is the reason and the purpose of all action. Without human being there is no action, human being is the condition sine qua non of all thinkable action and even in the most extreme profit-orientated amoral rationalism has a human being as highest institution and profiteer. So obviously in all action, especially in political action, human being is set as absolute. Human being is the reason for all political action. Quod erat demonstrandum. 1.a.i) One of the greatest dangers accruing from mechanical intelligence is that human being as last and highest untouchable institution and reason of all action is ignored for the benefit of an limitlessly elevated benefit-orientated rationalism, rationalism for the sake of rationalism, with human being as dispensable weakness. - 2) HUMAN BEING IS A COMPLEX BEING CONSISTING OF MULTIPLE ASPECTS AND ABILITIES, ONE OF THEM BEING CARNALITY/FLESHLINESS. 2.b) That every man is fleshly and carnal is evident. Without a body no living man. Even the holy trinity is only complete with the messiah combining divine and carnal nature. Quod erat demonstrandum. 2.b.i) Other aspects of human being would be emotions and feelings, belief, love, social abilities, the gift of creation, rationalism, relationship abilities, human cognition and many more. 2.b.ii) Cloning deals with the bare biological fact human being, therefore with it's carnal aspects only. But even then cloning touches human being in it's very quintessence and being. Cloning allows to copy or manipulate a whole man in his physical aspects. - 3) IF HUMAN BEING IS ABSOLUTE, THEN EVERY ASPECT CONSTITUTING HUMAN BEING, EVERY ASPECT THAT IS ESSENTIALLY AN ASPECT OF HUMAN BEING, IS ABSOLUTE TOO. 3.a) The attribute of a complex being depends on the elements essentially constituting the complex being and therefore the attributes of a complex being are a function of the essential elements. Therefore the complex being's features are also the essential elements' features. Quod erat demonstrandum. - 4) (1) a n d (3) --> THE BIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF HUMAN BEING ARE ABSOLUTE AND INVULNERABLE. 4.a) See numbers (1) and (3), logic conditional. - 5) RÉSUMÉ: That means that cloning of human being shall be banned if we want to continue building states, laws, policies for human beings and not for some abstract cold formation as aim in itself like "state", "rationalism", "science" or whatever. As soon as we set one of this formations higher than human being we betray our very own being. Human being is the concrete principle. Human being always means every single man, not some empty phrase called "mankind"..." Adam Horvitz, party leader ooc.: And now I want to read arguments against it. Honestly, otherwise you mustn't vote against it. |

| Message | Human being is indeed absolute and our race is a sacred one that has a supreme gift to do what no other before has done. *Research* in cloning technologies is not paramount to a complete destruction of the human being, rather it is the next step. An elevation of our state of existence, if you will. With this research, we may duplicate stem cells and vital organs that are needed for those who are living to survive longer, not indefinitely. SocLib '82 draws the line at this point. Were our nation's people savagely seeking to duplicate themselves, we would protest and vote in favor of this bill. However, current regulations disallow this practice which is why we support the law as it is in place. We do not promote cloning human beings for the purpose of creating more people or duplicates. We promote the idea that organs and vital cures may be found in this new and groundbreaking technology. There shouldn't be a war of ideologies or of philosophies over this matter. It is practical and it is to the benefit of biological health and little mental or spiritual cost. |

| Message | Yes, there has to be war of ideologies and philosophies. This question is NOT a purely practical one, this IS a question of principle. This question is very much different from others like questions of taxation. This question touches human being in it's very nucleus and quintessence. There has to be a point where we halt the manorial grasp of science. The actual question is: Do we want science (and afterwards other institutions) to play with our very human being or not? If we miss preserving human being as the absolute and invulnerable reason of all science now, we allow all other institutions to toy with our very being. You are right saying this it only the next step, but certainly in the wrong direction. If human being is no absolute, what is? Science as reason and aim in itself? Rationalism without human being? How we answer this questions determines the PART WE ASSIGN TO HUMAN BEING from now on. Please think carefully what role you want human being to have in a future world. |
