The issue of human reproductive cloning is a complex topic, where there are many issues that need to be addressed before any action is taken. Any decision based on reproductive cloning will not be clear and will instead accommodate a multitude of ideas. In this article I will determine, through philosophical thought, whether human reproductive cloning is morally appropriate. First, it is important to discuss what human cloning is. It is the conception of in vitro embryos that produces “individuals who are exact genetic copies of the donor from whom the DNA was obtained” (Munson 366). Simply put, cells are inserted from the donor host into an unfertilized egg from another host (which means it is asexual) and the new egg is transferred to the surrogate mother where, if effective, it will develop into an embryo. There are some rewards and drawbacks to using human reproductive cloning. One benefit would be to give a woman who can't find the right person to have a child with, the child she wanted. In “Mothers by Choice” there are many professional women, who previously would have had to settle for “Mr. Okay” have a child (Munson 335). Now, marriage is not necessary for working women to have a child and they should not settle down or put their ambitions aside. One disadvantage would certainly be like the Calvert case. A couple was determined to have a child, however, the mother underwent a hysterectomy which removed her uterus and was therefore unable to carry the pregnancy to term. Instead, the couple turned to a surrogate mother who would carry the child. Unfortunately, the surrogate mother felt that she should also be the child's mother and took the case to court (Munson 348). The courts decided that from the beginning the paper did not want or wish to be manipulated despite the cloning experimentation. By stopping a process that can cause harm to many, we ensure that we act as we wish to be treated. Ultimately, our course of action should be to legally ban human reproductive cloning. This decision will not harm anyone, nor will it abuse or exploit anyone. This action will be indicative of the moral standards we should hope everyone follows. Ultimately, ethics are much more important than the law. Ethical reflections are more significant than legal ideas because it is likely that the laws themselves may prove corrupt and inconsistent with honorable ethics. Therefore, we as a society must analyze the law from an ethical point of view, as in the case of reproductive cloning. Works Cited Munson, R. 2014. Intervention and reflection.
