From the Paper:

"A final claim about the negative impact of human cloning is its adverse affect on the human gene pool. If human cloning were to progress to a wide enough scale, it might cause a reduction in human diversity. While the consideration of human cloning en masse is currently not a foreseeable scenario, nevertheless, the government should ensure the protection of the human race by establishing laws that prohibit human cloning."
