Proponents of animal rights argue that non-human animals possess certain moral rights as living entities and should therefore be afforded the same ethical considerations as human beings. This would negate the exploitation of animals in scientific research on cloning, cloning used in food production, or as other resources for human use or ...
"I can’t think of a morally acceptable reason to clone a human being." Mary Seller, a member of Church of England's Board of Social Responsibility and a professor of developmental genetics: "Cloning, like all science, must be used responsibly. Cloning humans is not desirable. But cloning sheep has its uses."
Therapeutic cloning would involve cloning cells from a human for use in medicine and transplants. It is an active area of research, and is in medical practice over the world.

Research teams in the United States and Japan have developed a simple and cost-effective method of reprogramming human skin cells to function much like embryonic stem cells by introducing artificial viruses. While extracting and cloning stem cells is complex and extremely expensive, the newly discovered method of reprogramming cells is much ...
