Ethics of Human Cloning

Abstract: A 4 page paper discussing the ethics of human cloning. The paper treats therapeutic and reproductive cloning separately, and illustrates the applicability of the philosophies of Kant, Mill and Rawls. There is little ethical support for reproductive cloning, but therapeutic cloning is less clear. One author states that we should not avoid a technology simply because we do not yet have it completely identified. Those awaiting transplant organ availability likely would agree. It is left to the rest of us to decide what is or is not acceptable in our society. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
