Family planning through human cloning: is there a fundamental right?

Article Abstract:

The courts should protect the privacy right of heterosexual married couples to use cloning and other reproductive technologies as means to protect their fundamental right to procreate. Ethical arguments against judicial protection of human cloning prove to be spurious. Related constitutional protections can be rationally and ethically extended to procreation aided by such technologies if the focus is on protection of the capacity to procreate rather than acts of procreation.
