You can't be Amish because you are using a computer.
The Bible has much to say about the reality in which we live, otherwise...
The Bible really tells us much about our live and moral values but not much specific about nature e.g. why the sky is blue and how your computer works. Your computer is outside the realm of Scripture.
I understand that you are not personally taking things to that extreme, however according to your logic, cloning, embryonic stem cell research and pre-birth body part farming are in the realm of science and outside the realm of Scripture.
Cloning is very useful and makes a great effort for a fast development of new powerful plants. Cloning of animals as an attempt to understand what is going is in my opinion not to condemn. For humans I can see no need at all. Just do it because we can is not a reason.
Embryonic stem cell research is a dead end row and has a very slippery moral background. But not for stem cell research alone.
I must confess I have never heard about "pre-birth body part farming" before.
Some of the pathways science is taking are fraught with evil intent.
American and others scientists were developing the bomb in America while some others did it in Germany. Where is the evil intent? Not science is the evil it is the society which use the science. Therefore we need a moral background in science and not a condemnation of science in common.

Therefore we need a moral background in science and not a condemnation of science in common If you read through the posts by the ardent evolutionists on this board you will notice their desire to keep the Bible out of science. They are committed to separating scientific reality from Biblical reality. The reason for this is because it is their attempt to continue disregarding the truths of Scripture from their reality. Nothing untestable needs to be completely obeyed. It is subjective truth.
Look through the posts and consider the implications. By separating the truths we open the door to racism, eugenics, human cloning, euthanasia, abortion... Science must always be subjected to a moral compass. None on FreeRepublic condone these ideas, however because of the position they have taken they have no way to speak against these things. Within their worldview these things must be possible.
