Cloning the reproduction of a genetic copy of another human being either through ‘splitting’ of the embryo’s cell or through somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Cloning the reproduction of a genetic copy of another human being either through ‘splitting’ of the embryo’s cell or through somatic cell nuclear transfer. The latter, involved the removal of the nucleus from the unfertilized female egg and its replacement by the nucleus of a cell taken from donor. Embryos are cloned either to provide human embryonic stem celle (ES cells) as precursors for differentiated cells to treat diseased (mean therapeutic cloning) or to produce a new individual by implanting it in a woman’s uterus (mean reproductive cloning). Now, harvesting of human ES cells requires destruction of the embryo. Cloning violates: f) Inviolability of Life (embryo are destroyed in the therapeutic cloning) g) Stewardship (the process is artificial) Nonmaleficence (the psychological and physical risks to mother and child. In accdition the concept of the ‘family" is perhaps destroyed) i) Respect for Person (denatured and destroyed by stockbreeding with no uniqueness ans individuality; parents were reduced to a mere provider of human materials’, like, sperm, egg and uterus) Human Embryonic stem cells (Human ES cells) the production of human embryos the use of surplus embryos from IVF or aborted embryos or frozen embryos. The isolation of the inner cell mass (ICM) which is cultured and subcultured to form colonies then cell lines must be done early in the embryonic life and destroyed the embryo (nonmaleficence). This intentional killing is morally illicit. Thought the end may be praiseworthy as in a regenerative medicine, it cannot justify the means (double effect). To use commercially available or supplied ES cells obtained from them is proximate material cooperation with scandal in the act of embryo destruction (respect for person and nonmaleficence). Prevention of reproduction There are two ways by which reproduction may be prevented it is through contraceptive and abortive. There are some obvious reasons why other people choose this methods, one is space pregnancy, health, economics, unreadiness, no desire to be obligated to try to have children and others.
