Obviously, if they are causing harm to their unborn child, they do not deserve the responsibility of being a parent.

A second argument against human cloning is that the DNA donor and the cloned recipient will have a loss of uniqueness and individuality. Reverend Moraczewski once again asserts “cloning improperly robs people of their uniqueness.” (http://www.reproductivecloning.net/open/carrington_essay.html) Yet argued to the latter statement is the fact that there are natural born identical twins, triplets, even quadruplets who look identical and have some of the same actions. Nobody is outlawing these births. The first statement also prods comments that argue that when we use medical devices and procedures to change ourselves permanently (i.e. sex change operation) nobody is protesting these procedures. Cloning is in the same game as these activities that take place in our society everyday. According to Eric Cohen of the Wall Street Journal, when we think of human cloning, “three horrors come to mind: First, the designing of our desc...
