Is abortion right? Now that we (basically) have the technology to clone people, should we? These are the kinds of questions that I would answer here in a scholarly fashion if I really wanted to expend the effort to do so. But I have thought of a much better solution to this whole situation.
Somebody needs to fund (don’t worry, the money will comeback to that person ten-fold) a project to clone Jesus from the DNA that can be scrubbed off the Shroud of Turin. Don’t start poking holes in my plan with your fancy “logic” and “factual information” just yet. You’ve got to work with me. Continuing on, what you have to do next is, once Jesus is of sufficient age (anywhere between 18-30 years old, really) get him really really high on whatever drugs you prefer. But you’ve got to make sure that you don’t kill him (imagine what a mess that would be) and you also have to make sure that he is at least minorly coherent when he speaks.
The final step: Put Jesus on live TV on every station around the world (this is how the money to fund the cloning would come back…I mean you could demand $500,000 from each and every network and they’d still all pay you) for a 30 minute (strict time limit) call-in (you could also charge for the phone calls to Jesus for another source of income…people would still pay thousands to talk to Jesus) “Question and Answer” session.
It’d be great fun, I’m telling you.

Great fun…
Up until the point when someone asks (high) Jesus if abortion is right. Or better yet, ask him if cloning is moral. Either way, the thing would be short lived. Not to shoot down your hypothetical situation or anything, but provided you hurdled every other barrier the kinds of questions people would want to ask Jesus would likely backfire.
