More genetic questions: Why is human cloning considered unethical and immoral?

#1

Post by SpyderEdgeForever »

Is it because of the abuses done with other forms of technology, and the horrible history of eugenics, where various groups attempted to selectively breed human beings, that there is alot of "bad press" on cloning human beings, and also faith/religious ethics in regards to this?

And also could it be because of inherent dangers in the cloning process that could lead to genetic problems?

I'd say religion is probably the biggest reason.
