Jurnal Office, Vol.3, No.2, 2017 Assessing Human Reproductive Cloning and Creationism from the Perspectives of Raelianism and African Belief Peter Ottuh Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. Email: pottuh@deslsu.edu.ng ABSTRACT This paper appraised the issues involved in human reproductive cloning and creationism from the standpoints of Raelian religion and African traditional belief. The methods adopted are descriptive and evaluative. The findings include the fact that human cloning is one of the religious tenets of Raelianism; and that African tradition and culture totally reject reproductive cloning on the ground of its unnaturalness. Finally, the paper from the African traditional paradigm concluded that human reproductive cloning is totally condemnable and should not be practiced on human beings on the ground of unnaturalness, distortion, negation, imperfection, and aberration. Keywords: Reproductive Cloning; Creationism; Raelian, African; Tradition. INTRODUCTION Human reproductive cloning in its methods is the most despotic and slavish form of genetic manipulation. This is because, the technology amounts to unnatural constitutiveness of human rationality which is devoid of the principles of procreationism that defines all humans as biological entities. Taking into cognizance, some reasons for pursuing the human cloning enterprise are recognizable and acknowledgeable, while others are shocking. Those that are recognizable mostly, is the fact that reproductive cloning is another possible option for the (attempted) remedy of infertility which is parallel to earlier technologies that once shocked or disturbed the world, e.g. artificial insemination (AI) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) (Ottuh, 2008, pp. 311). Reasons advanced for human cloning are anchored on human freedom (human rights) or freewill which is also discoverable in modernism, liberalism, moral choices, protecting and promoting scientific and technological researches, and so on. The shocking reasons for cloning are not illegitimate just because they run against the grain of our prejudices. For it may be that our present-day moral presumptions are misguided, and that a rational case for humanitarian or evolutionary eugenics deserves a fair hearing, and that its various advocates deserve at least some room to offer and prove their case or pursue their ideals. And while such ideals offer direct challenges to our idea of civilization, the truth is that our values and purposes are not the only morally justifiable ones, and our civilization is not likely to be the last form of human civilization in human history ( Edor & Odok, 2010).
