From the Paper:

"The Ethics of Human Cloning Cloning, along with certain cell-biological procedures, has the potential to result in substantial benefits such as tissue-replacement therapy, which overcomes problems related to immune rejection. At the same time, cloning involves a host of ethical and moral issues. Unlike the majority of medical advances, the issue of cloning involves fundamental moral problems with the most far-reaching implications. As Kolata (5) states, "cloning forces us back to the most basic questions that have plagued humanity...What is good and what is evil?" Human cloning is not a simple issue since eugenic consequences are intricately interrelated with gene therapy with its potential for effective treatment of such diseases as sickle cell anemia and hemophilia."
