Article Abstract:
Cloning has presented an ethical challenge to US policymakers. While cloning offers significant scientific and medical benefits, its social implications are unclear. Several solutions can maximize benefits and reduce unethical applications. These include a ban on cloning for reproducing human infants, without prohibiting other human-based procedures that can provide important discoveries.
