Cloning and its effects

[There are] many reasons why they.
             might choose to clone embryos either by blastomere separation, or by.
             nuclear transfer. One would be to obtain enough embryos to achieve.
             pregnancy and offspring. If a woman produced only one or two eggs or one.
             or two embryos, it might be difficult for that couple to have a family.
             Splitting the embryos or cloning them by nuclear transfer would enable them.
             to overcome that problem. Or they may want to do that to avoid having to.
             go through a second IVF cycle which not only is very costly but is onerous.
             for the woman involved, including hormonal stimulation and egg retrieval.
             A third [reason] would be to have a back up supply of embryos from which.
             tissue or organs could be obtained if a tragedy befell a first child.
             Obviously in that scenario the cloned embryos could be transferred to the.
             uterus at the same time leading to simultaneously born intended twins or.
             they could be transferred at later points in time. Now an important point,.
             indeed a crucial point, about cloning as part of IVF is that such.
             activities would appear to fall within the fundamental freedom of married.
             couples, including infertile married couples to have biologically related.
             offspring. If the ability to clone an embryo and transfer it to the uterus.
             is essential in determining whether that couple will reproduce, then.
             cloning should receive the same legal respect and protection that other.
             means of noncoital reproduction receive" (39).
             Many scientist use genetic screening to create perfect genomes for.
             whatever their research might be. The possibility of screening human.
             embryos for genetic diseases and replacing the disrupted genes with.
             perfectly cloned genes remains if the research is allowed to continue.
             This opens many doors for the medical field. It would be an enormous feat.
             if genetic diseases like Muscular Dystrophy could be destroyed before the.
             child was even born. Or if the child wasn't going to grow an organ or.

7. Oh! The Morality: An Argument on Reproductive Cloning

... that under current conditions, reproductive cloning is impermissible because of its hazardous consequences. However, I argue that if and when safety is no longer an immediate concern, then reproductive cloning will be morally permissible. I do this by initially demonstrating the risks involved with cloning procedures, and then by rejecting two popular arguments opposing cloning, and conclude by briefly discussing beneficial opportunities of cloning. The successful cloning of Dolly, the sheep, illuminates ... a carrier. As I have stated previously, reproductive cloning is presently moral...
