... . (G. Burns: 1972). One of the most interesting development in genetics is unfold through genetic engineering and this is called cloning. Cloning is already in progress and it is now not only done in plants and animals, but even in humans. Scientists, Robert Stillman and Jerry Hall from George Washington University cloned human embryos in late 1993. Working in George ... could become identical human beings.

As long as the public accepts "genetic essentialism" (the belief that a person's characteristics are largely determined by one's genes), a practice of cloning humans will deprive a cloned subject of his or her own life.
