The Emergent Bioethics of Human Cloning Debate in Global Context

Abstract

    This paper begins with the idea of technology generally and its influence over the global world in family and reproduction sectors particularly. The ARTs have taken over the lead in this sector but human cloning is not a phenomenon endorsed and greeted by everyone around the globe. This paper examines and analyses the arguments of the proponents and opponents on the subject of human cloning from the moral and ethical perspectives. Such concerns over the idea of human cloning evolve around all the stakeholders and do not spare anyone from observation of certain code of conduct proposed by the moral and ethical values. The proponents argue that it is the need of the hour to welcome such an innovative technique and rejection of this technique would be totally unjustified and contrary to the norms of human rights and notions of the freedom of choice in reproduction and healthcare sectors.
