An example would be people who can't produce eggs or sperm. In today's society, there are many infertile couples and unfortunately, over ninety percent of infertility treatments are unsuccessful. Also, with Reproductive Cloning, lesbians would be capable of having children without the need for a sperm donor. .
Also, there are many people who believe that the research done through Reproductive Cloning can be beneficial research for mankind. One of the many benefits of this research is the rejuvenation of man. With Reproductive Cloning research, one day1 it may be possible to slow or reverse the aging process in humans. Research such as this may one day lead to the reverse of heart attacks. Research through Reproductive Cloning may also one day find a cure for many of the world's most common illnesses such as Down's syndrome, liver failure, kidney failure, leukemia, cancer, spinal cord injury, and other genetic diseases.
Another benefit of Reproductive Cloning is the ability to copy tissue, muscles, and organs to repair damaged ones. The harmful plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgeries may soon be over with the help of Reproductive Cloning. One day, amputees might be able to regenerate lost limbs. However, these are only possibilities and not actualities. .
Now, I will explain the cons to Reproductive Cloning and why it is unethical. The first drawback to Reproductive Cloning is that it would change our understanding of people in general and make them seem like objects that we can design and manufacture to have specific characteristics. It is in human nature that we easily get tired of material things. Lets take computer hardware for example. When I buy a new video card, I dedicate a lot of my time and play with it until my interest runs out. Most of the time I lose interest in the card because a newer, faster, more powerful video card was released to the market, leaving my $300 video card obsolete shortly after a few months.
