- Serving the Zionists' interests
His Eminence does not see that the Jews might exploit the cloning of human beings to dominate people, in a way that might serve international Zionism. His Eminence says: "I do not think that we can take into consideration, in an accurate way, the issue of the religious and political affiliations of those who apply this theory, simply because this person might be Jewish but he thinks in a scientific way, and at the same time, he might not be a Jewish and thinks in a different way. We know that the Jews, based on their guiding norms, have tried, throughout their history, to undermine a number of values for the benefit of the international Judaism or international Zionism.
But we can not consider this to be the basis of reviewing this issue, because human reality does not accept such a thing. However, this does not mean that we do not have to be careful and study well the possibility of some negative aspects.

Many interpretations of "the cloned person" say that the cloned is a typical image of the person he is cloned from, while others claim that the cloned also incorporates the habits, thoughts, attitudes, and behavior of the person he is cloned from. His Eminence comments, saying: I think that cloning is a kind of a well-advanced development of the law of inheritance. But the laws of inheritance, even the material elements in cloning, are not the ones that make man's mind or heart. The person is affected by who and what is around him. He is affected by his experience and by the surrounding circumstances. Therefore, cloning does not cancel the human self development, in which the intellect of the person can produce, according to new directions, new thoughts, and new emotions. Most importantly, I do not think that we are in need for a cloned Hitler, a cloned Neron, or many other similar people, simply because the natural way of reproduction and the surrounding circumstances can make another Hitler, young or old, and another Neron, in one way or another. We do not need to exhaust ourselves in making such people, because our reality might produce those who are similar to them.
-The domination of a group of human beings:
As for the fear that a group of human beings, which is perfect in its genetic composition, might dominate over other genetically imperfect groups; a thing that might lead to a racial discrimination similar to the racial segregation of nowadays, His Eminence replies: such thoughts are nearer to fantasy than to reality. The process of dominating the other is not restricted to the elements existing in the person who dominates. We observe, for instance, how many distinguished personalities, in power and in knowledge, could not dominate because the social, political, and economic circumstances of their societies did not allow them to do so. The process of domination rises from both, the elements exiting inside the person and the outside circumstances, which provide him with the favorable conditions to dominate. As a result, the mere production of a human and the tackling with or modification of his genes to make them "perfect" does not enable him to dominate over the society.
As for the idea that cloning is a means that allows the powerful countries, through producing controlled human beings, to dominate, His Eminence says: "I do not think that the powerful countries can either manipulate, or interfere in the life of the cloned person, because the elements of person's personality are not only restricted to the natural inherited objects that exist inside the living being, but there are also other outside elements affecting this being.
