What is actually needed is an unbiased assessment of both the perils and promises of cloning humans. (Jacob M. Appel)

So there is nothing new or radically different about human cloning (even when the technology is perfected, which it has not yet been). Human cloning in the laboratory is not what you think, and humans have been truly cloning outside of the lab for the entire human history. (Psychology Today Blogs)

For the first time since Hwang Woo-Suk's cloned stem cells were revealed as fakes, human cloning — for medical purposes, or even for reproduction — appears to be a realistic possibility. (Wired Science from Wired.com)

Currently, we have expanded the circle of protection from ourselves to others of our group and then to strangers outside our group (other races, other religions), and will continue to expand it (as Peter Singer, borrowing from W.H. Lecky, has argued). But I don’t think we will ever see unanimous equality between species until we actually can see another species similar enough to humans for this species barrier of ethics to be broken down.

The United Nations has recently announced that it will reassess the ban on all forms of human cloning at an ethics panel in Paris this week. The ban was established in 2005 on the grounds that all cloning was declared by the UN to be “incompatible with human dignity and protection of life.” (Stanford Center for Law & the Biosciences Blog)

Is pet cloning really so strange and untenable? In addition to voicing concerns about animal welfare, those who oppose it take issue with its metaphorical implications. "This idea that you can take an animal and duplicate it whenever you want-it treats animals as objects that can be manufactured," says Mak. (Reason Magazine)

“Saving” embryos from destruction through the Human Cloning Ban Act, as conservatives suggest, would neither save them or the women carrying them to term.

This entry describes the most important areas of disagreement regarding the ethics of human cloning, since human cloning has been the main topic of the cloning debate.

"The successful cloning of an adult sheep, announced in Scotland this past February, is one of the most dramatic recent examples of a scientific discovery becoming a public issue. During the last few months, various commentators -- scientists and theologians, physicians and legal experts, talk-radio hosts and editorial writers -- have been busily responding to the news, some calming fears, other raising alarms about the prospect of cloning a human being. At the request of the President, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) held hearings and prepared a report on the religious, ethical, and legal issues surrounding human cloning. While declining to call for a permanent ban on the practice, the Commission recommended a moratorium on efforts to clone human beings, and emphasized the importance of further public deliberation on the subject."

"Sporadic announcements over the past two years from a number of groups in Asia, Europe, and North America that women under their care have given birth, or are about to give birth, to a "human clone" have not only produced doubts about the credibility of such claims but have also reactivated the public debate in this area and raised questions about the facts and ethics of what might be involved in human cloning. Public attention has also been stimulated by reports from scientists in several countries that they have either succeeded in creating stem cell lines from "cloned embryos" or are planning to do so. The following information is intended to provide background on the topic and the position of the World Health Organization. "

"The view that human life begins at conception is a favoured view of most of the pro-life camp. By it, they do not mean that the sperm and ova were not alive and only became so at conception, but rather that ‘human life’ - in the special sense of a person who deserves protection under the law - begins at conception. Unfortunately for them, this view is logically inconsistent with that pesky thing called reality." (Human Enhancement and Biopolitics)

"The possibility of human cloning, raised when Scottish scientists at Roslin Institute created the much-celebrated sheep "Dolly" (Nature 385, 810-13, 1997), aroused worldwide interest and concern because of its scientific and ethical implications. The feat, cited by Science magazine as the breakthrough of 1997, also generated uncertainty over the meaning of "cloning" --an umbrella term traditionally used by scientists to describe different processes for duplicating biological material. "

"A third provision — and the most controversial of all — permits the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos, or “cybrids,” for medical research. On Monday, in the first stage of passing the legislation, members of the House of Commons voted in favor. It is this third provision that I want to focus on."

"A new form of cloning has been developed that is easier to carry out than the technique used to create Dolly the sheep, raising fears that it may one day be used on human embryos to produce "designer" babies." (Science, News - The Independent)
