... Examine the implications of cloning for the human race. ... Those who oppose the cloning of any human cells would state that these parents would not think twice about having a clone of Einstein or a copy of Marie Curie instead of having their own offspring. This may be a possibility if advancements in cloning allow people to efficiently clone other human beings. ... So if parents do not want to have children with the intelligence of Nobel prize winners, then the possibility of people using cloning to “improve” the human race is extremely unlikely when the bigger picture is taken into consideration.
So why then is there such a fuss when issues of cloning are brought up? The greatest concern, of most people who oppose cloning, is for the moral implications. Many religious spokespersons have warned that humans have “neither the right nor the knowledge to play God”; basing their arguments on the belief that sanctity of the human soul is violated when copies of a person are made or when embryos are killed during the cloning experiments.
