Interesting tidbit: Mary Shelley got her story by re-telling the tale of the gollum told to her by her Jewish nanny. Interesting indeed! I found this info on Wikipedia:
The earliest stories of golems date to early Judaism. In the Talmud (Tractate Sanhedrin 38b), Adam was initially created as a golem (גולם) when his dust was "kneaded into a shapeless husk." Like Adam, all golems are created from mud. They were a creation of those who were very holy and close to God. A very holy person was one who strove to approach God, and in that pursuit would gain some of God's wisdom and power. One of these powers was the creation of life. However, no matter how holy a person became, a being created by that person would be but a shadow of one created by God. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem.
I imagine that man, in his attempts to "play god" and create human life outside of God's design, will only be able to create a shadow of a human. The whole idea of human cloning, taken to the extent like geneticists are doing with farm animals, gives me the creeps! I think it could possibly be the last straw before God intervenes in a most unpleasant manner.
