Document 2 Brassington, Iain; Oultram, Stuart The topsyturvy cloning law. Monash bioethics review 2011 Mar; 29(3): 04.118 Abstract: In debates about human cloning, a distinction is frequently drawn between therapeutic and reproductive uses of the technology.Naturally enough, this distinction influences the way that the law is framed. The general consensus is that therapeutic cloning is less morallyproblematic than reproductive cloningone can hold this position while holding that both are morally unacceptableand the law frequently leavesthe way open for some cloning for the sake of research into new therapeutic techniques while banning it for reproductive purposes. We claim thatthe position adopted by the law has things the wrong way around: if we accept a moral distinction between therapeutic and reproductive cloning,there are actually more reasons to be morally worried about therapeutic cloning than about reproductive cloning. If cloning is the proper object oflegal scrutiny, then, we ought to make sure that we are scrutinising the right kind of clone.


Document 3 Bredenoord, A L; Dondorp, W; Pennings, G; De Wert, G Nuclear transfer to prevent mitochondrial DNA disorders: revisiting the debate on reproductive cloning. Reproductive biomedicine online 2011 Feb; 22(2): 2007 Abstract: Preclinical experiments are currently performed to examine the feasibility of several types of nuclear transfer to prevent mitochondrialDNA (mtDNA) disorders. Whereas the two most promising types of nuclear transfer to prevent mtDNA disorders, spindle transfer and pronucleartransfer, do not amount to reproductive cloning, one theoretical variant, blastomere transfer does. This seems the most challenging bothtechnically and ethically. It is prohibited by many jurisdictions and also the scientific community seems to avoid it. Nevertheless, this paperexamines the moral acceptability of blastomere transfer as a method to prevent mtDNA disorders. The reason for doing so is that most objectionsagainst reproductive cloning refer to reproductive adult cloning, while blastomere transfer would amount to reproductive embryo cloning. Afterclarifying this conceptual difference, this paper examines whether the main nonsafety objections brought forward against reproductive cloningalso apply in the context of blastomere transfer. The conclusion is that if this variant were to become safe and effective, dismissing it because itwould involve reproductive cloning is unjustified. Nevertheless, as it may lead to more complex ethical appraisals than the other variants,researchers should initially focus on the development of the other types of nuclear transfer to prevent mtDNA disorders.

Revista de derecho y genoma humano = Law and the human genome review / Cátedra de Derecho y Genoma Humano/Fundación BBVDiputaciónForal de Bizkaia 2010 JulDec(33): 93125 Abstract: In a controversial matter such as cloning the study of the treatment that it raises in the first technological, political and cultural power isessential. Its role, in many ways, on the leading of the Humanity progress deserves a detailed attention. Moral pluralism in a country wherevarious ethicalreligious traditions converge and coexist, the kaleidoscopic legal structure of a Federal State, the strength of its biotechnologyindustry, the passion for research that crosses the nation and the frontier spirit in facing new challenges become the first power pioneer in manysocial phenomena and a mirror to look at other countries in an attempt to emulate its achievements (or to follow in its mistakes). The debate onthe constitutionality of cloning hinges on the ability of public authorities to interfere in personal decisions and on the existence of more valuablepublic interest that justify such intervention. This article also discusses the criteria for awarding the regulation of cloning to the federation or to thestates.

Public understanding of science (Bristol, England) 2010 Jul; 19(4): 43551 Abstract: This article discusses results of a questionnaire survey of 156 university students in Israel and Austria examining reactions towards theBelated Twins scenario, which entails the artificial twinning of embryos of which one is immediately carried to term while the other one is bornlater. The scenario resembles a case of human reproductive cloning in terms of result (the creation of genetically identical individuals in a timedelayed manner) but it involves gamete fusion like "natural" reproduction. By means of qualitative text analysis we discuss the core themesmobilized both in support and opposition to the scenario. While Israeli and Austrian respondents held similar general attitudes (about half were infavour of legalizing Belated Twins, while about a third opposed it), they drew partly on different arguments to arrive at their conclusions. In bothgroups, uncertainty stemming from "novel" elements in the scenario was regularly interpreted as negatively exacerbating existing issues.

Museum's efforts to frame the project in terms of scientific progress. The project repeatedly shifted from science to spectacle, as multiplestakeholders used the mass media to negotiate the scientific feasibility of trying to reverse extinction through the application of advancedbiotechnology. The case study findings are relevant both to the emerging social issues surrounding the use of paleogenomics in wildlifeconservation, and to the theoretical development of frame analysis as applied to scientific controversies.

Document 15 Havstad, Joyce C. Human reproductive cloning: a conflict of liberties. Bioethics 2010 February; 24(2): 7177 Abstract: Proponents of human reproductive cloning do not dispute that cloning may lead to violations of clones' right to selfdetermination, or thatthese violations could cause psychological harms. But they proceed with their endorsement of human reproductive cloning by dismissing thesepsychological harms, mainly in two ways. The first tactic is to point out that to commit the genetic fallacy is indeed a mistake; the second is toinvoke Parfit's nonidentity problem. The argument of this paper is that neither approach succeeds in removing our moral responsibility to considerand to prevent psychological harms to cloned individuals. In fact, the same commitment to personal liberty that generates the right to reproduceby means of cloning also creates the need to limit that right appropriately. Discussion of human reproductive cloning ought to involve a carefuland balanced consideration of both the relevant aspects of personal liberty the parents' right to reproductive freedom and the cloned child's rightto selfdetermination.

Document 23 Dawood, Bishoy Engineering immortality through human cloning: a Christian theological perspective National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly 2009 Autumn; 9(3): 447451 Abstract: This paper discusses the topic of engineering immortality, which is used as an ethical argument in support of human cloning. Whilemany of the legal and religious responses to the ethical issue of human cloning focus on the use of embryos as a means to an end (forreproductive or therapeutic purposes) and on the concern for human dignity, an argument for achieving human immortality through human cloninghas rarely been considered. This paper presents, from a Christian theological perspective, a response to the argument for engineering immortalityby human cloning.

Document 30 Williams, M.J. Resource expenditure not resource allocation: response to McDougall on cloning and dignity. Journal of Medical Ethics 2009 May; 35(5): 330334 Abstract: This paper offers some comments on bioethical debates about resource allocation in healthcare. It is stimulated by RosalindMcDougall's argument that it is an affront to the human dignity of people with below "libertieslevel" health to fund human reproductive cloning.McDougall is right to underline the relevance of resource prioritisation to the ethics of research and provision of new biomedical technologies. Thispaper argues that bioethicists should be careful when offering comments about such issues. In particular, it emphasises the need to representaccurately the reality of the situationespecially when we are passing judgement on technologies that are in their infancy and whose practicalapplication is yet to be confirmed. The paper also emphasises the importance of the actual context to bioethical debate, and note that it would bebetter to talk about resource expenditure rather than resource allocation when it comes to discussing the rights and wrongs of how money isspent. It also reiterates the claims made by other writers that social and political philosophy need to have a transparent and considered role indebates about resources.

Document 32 Sparrow, Robert Therapeutic cloning and reproductive liberty. Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 2009 April; 34(2): 102118 Abstract: Concern for "reproductive liberty" suggests that decisions about embryos should normally be made by the persons who would be thegenetic parents of the child that would be brought into existence if the embryo were brought to term. Therapeutic cloning would involve creatingand destroying an embryo, which, if brought to term, would be the offspring of the genetic parents of the person undergoing therapy. I argue thatcentral arguments in debates about parenthood and genetics therefore suggest that therapeutic cloning would be prima facie unethical unless itoccurred with the consent of the parents of the person being cloned. Alternatively, if therapeutic cloning is thought to be legitimate, thisundermines the case for some uses of reproductive cloning by implying that the genetic relation it establishes between clones and DNA donorsdoes not carry the same moral weight as it does in cases of normal reproduction.

In this regard, human beings are not capableof deciding what is or what is not lawful without resorting to divine norms. Cloning clashes with several principles. Firstly, the principle of therespect for life in relation to surpernumeraries, but Muslim authors are not in unanimous agreement on the determination of the moment at whichlife begins. Secondly, is the respect of progeny: cloning could only take place between a married couple. But even if these two principles arerespected, cloning poses two major problems: the diversity of species expounded by the Koran and the Sunnah and a lack of interest. Whichexplains the quasiunanimous opposition of Muslim writings regarding cloning.

Abstract: "The Accidental Advocate profiles Dr. Claude Gerstle, a surgeon and athlete who suffered a tragic bicycle accident in 2003 that left himquadriplegic. The film is a wheelchair odyssey bringing him and his daughter Jessica, an awardwinning television news producer, from thelaboratories of the world's most eminent stem cell researchers all the way to Congress and the White House on their quest for a cure. What startsas a medical question quickly evolves into a social and political ducation. Together they track down the thinkers, politicians, crusaders andnaysayers in an effort to explore the hope, hype, passions and fears fueled by the stem cell debate. Appearances by Michael J. Fox, HillaryClinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others political heavies round out a film that shows why and how embryonic stem cell research has becomesuch a political football. "The debate over research on embryonic stem cells can seem pretty abstract, so if you want to get a real feel for theeffect of President Bush's ban . . . see if you can catch a screening of a documentary called The Accidental Advocate." Sharon Begley,Newsweek Premiered during the 2008 Republican and Democratic Conventions as part of the Impact Film Festival, it is essential viewing forthose who desire real change. The Accidental Advocate has the power to influence policy and ultimately make a difference in the lives of morethan 100 million Americans who stand to benefit from stem cell research."

Document 49 Jensen, Eric Through thick and thin: rationalizing the public bioethical debate over therapeutic cloning Clinical Ethics 2008 December; 3(4): 194198 Abstract: Beauchamp and Childress (1994) elaborated an approach to bioethical deliberations based on four universalistic principles. Thisframework of ‘principlism' has been criticized from within biomedical ethics as insufficient and problematic. However, this article considers a moreradical sociological critique by John Evans (2002) that rejects the entire approach of defining ‘principles' a priori. This sociological critique is basedon classical sociologist Max Weber's (1925) distinction between instrumental (‘thin') and substantive (‘thick') rationality. As an exploratoryassessment of Evans' critique, his conceptualization of ‘thin' versus ‘thick' rationalization is applied to a large sample of AngloAmerican presscoverage (n = 5126) of the bioethical controversy surrounding therapeutic cloning. Given the role of mainstream news media as a key arena forthe discursive framing of biomedical research and its ethical implications, the findings raise important questions about principlism and themediation of bioethical debates on issues such as therapeutic cloning.

Document 54 Camporesi, S.; Bortolotti, L. Reproductive cloning in humans and therapeutic cloning in primates: is the ethical debate catching up with the recent scientificadvances? Journal Medical Ethics [Online] 2008 September; 34(9): e15: 5p. Abstract: After years of failure, in November 2007 primate embryonic stem cells were derived by somatic cellular nuclear transfer, also known astherapeutic cloning. The first embryo transfer for human reproductive cloning purposes was also attempted in 2006, albeit with negative results.These two events force us to think carefully about the possibility of human cloning which is now much closer to becoming a reality. In this paperwe tackle this issue from two sides, first summarising what scientists have achieved so far, then discussing some of the ethical arguments infavour and against human cloning which are debated in the context of policy making and public consultation. Therapeutic cloning as a means toimprove and save lives has uncontroversial moral value. As to human reproductive cloning, we consider and assess some common objectionsand failing to see them as conclusive. We do recognise, though, that there will be problems at the level of policy and regulation that might eitherimpair the implementation of human reproductive cloning or make its accessibility restricted in a way that could become difficult to justify onmoral grounds. We suggest using the time still available before human reproductive cloning is attempted successfully to create policies andinstitutions that can offer clear directives on its legitimate applications on the basis of solid arguments, coherent moral principles, and extensivepublic consultation.

Jensen, D.A. Human reproductive cloning and reasons for deprivation Journal of Medical Ethics 2008 August; 34(8): 619623 Abstract: Human reproductive cloning provides the possibility of genetically related children for persons for whom present technologies areineffective. I argue that the desire for genetically related children is not, by itself, a sufficient reason to engage in human reproductive cloning. Ishow this by arguing that the value underlying the desire for genetically related children implies a tension between the parent and the future child.This tension stems from an instance of a deprivation and violates a general principle of reasons for deprivation. Alternative considerations, suchas a right to procreative autonomy, do not appear helpful in making the case for human reproductive cloning merely on the basis of the desire forgenetically related children.

Document 65 McDougall, R. A resourcebased version of the argument that cloning is an affront to human dignity Journal of Medical Ethics 2008 April; 34(4): 259261 Abstract: The claim that human reproductive cloning constitutes an affront to human dignity became a familiar one in 1997 as policymakers andbioethicists responded to the announcement of the birth of Dolly the sheep. Various versions of the argument that reproductive cloning is anaffront to human dignity have been made, most focusing on the dignity of the child produced by cloning. However, these arguments tend to beunpersuasive and strongly criticised in the bioethical literature. In this paper I put forward a different argument that reproductive cloning is anaffront to human dignity, one that looks beyond the dignity of the child produced. I suggest that allocating funds to such a pursuit can affronthuman dignity by diverting resources away from those existing people who lack sufficient health to enable them to exercise basic rights andliberties. This version of the argument posits cloning as an affront to human dignity in particular circumstances, rather than claiming thetechnology as intrinsically inconsistent with human dignity.

Document 69 Strong, Carson Cloning and adoption: a reply to Levy and Lotz [debate] Bioethics 2008 February; 22(2): 130136 Abstract: In previous articles I discussed the ethics of human reproductive cloning, focusing on a possible future scenario in which reproductivecloning can be accomplished without an elevated risk of anomalies to the children who are created. I argued that in such a scenario it would beethically permissible for infertile couples to use cloning as a way to have genetically related children and that such use should not be prohibited.In 'Reproductive Cloning and a (Kind of) Genetic Fallacy', Neil Levy and Mianna Lotz raise objections to my conclusions. They disagree with theview, for which I argued, that some couples can have defensible reasons for desiring genetically related children. They also offer several newarguments against reproductive cloning, including an argument that it would diminish the number of adoptions, thereby adversely affecting thewelfare of children who need to be adopted. In this paper I point out that Levy and Lotz's criticisms misconstrue my arguments and that there areserious problems with their arguments for prohibiting infertile couples from using cloning, including their argument from adoption.

Subsequently arguments about the eligibility of this technologyemerged. This technology is discussed from various aspects such as: ethics, law, religion, etc. In each field scholars have made an attempt tofind a proper answer; some of them condemned it seriously, some accepted it absolutely; while the others have chosen the middle road. So,different attitudes bring up different legislations. This article evaluated different legal and ethical views about cloning and showed that violatinghuman dignity and the adverse consequences of cloning are the most important legal and ethical points that cloning opponents considered.

Iranian Research Center for Ethics and Law in Medicine Figh Islami va padeideh shabieh sazi = Cloning and Islamic (Figh) perspective First International Congress of Medical Law, Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Iranian Research Center for Ethics and Law inMedicine 2007 November 1516 Abstract: Simulation or transcription which is called cloning derived from Greek word (clon) that means cutting, budding and proliferating. Cloningis the creation of an organism that is an exact process of creating a genetic copy of another. Cloning is the asexual process of creating anidentical copy of an original organism. Cloning exist in nature in some animal species and is referred to as parthenogenesis. Reproductive cloningis a technology used to generate an animal that has the same nuclear DNA as another currently or previously existing animal. In a process called“somatic cell nuclear transfer” or (SCNT) scientists transfer genetic materials from the nucleus of a donor adult cell to an egg whose nucleus, andthus its genetic materials, has been removed. Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing, or previously existinghuman by growing cloned tissue from that individual. Cloning has been going on in the natural world for thousand years. A clone is simply oneliving thing made from another, leading to two organisms with the same set of genes. The Islamic views presented about cloning in this article areformulated with a necessary caution. The classical formulations based on the Qur'an and the Tradition provide no universally accepted definitionof the term 'embryo' with which we are concerned in our deliberation today. Nor do these two foundational sources of the sharia lend themselves torecognize the modern biological data about the beginning of life from the moment of impregnation. A tenable conclusion, derived by rationallyinclined interpreters of the abovecited verse of the Quran, suggests that as participants in the act of creating with God, human beings canactively engage in furthering the overall well estate of humanity by intervening in the works of nature, including the early stage of embryonicdevelopment, to prove human health.

Journal International de Bioéthique = International Journal of Bioethics 2007 MarchJune; 18(12): 187218 Abstract: This article analyses the international governance of human reproductive cloning. Noting that bioethics is a new field of engagement forinternational lawyers, it recounts some of the institutional developments in bioethical law making. The role of UNESCO and the United NationsGeneral Assembly is scrutinized and the author discusses the relative merits of the institutions' governance of human reproductive cloning. Theauthor suggests that some international institutions and mechanisms are better suited than others for bioethical law making. The 2005 GeneralAssembly resolution on human cloning is analysed in this context.

Document 136 Caulfield, Timothy; Bubela, Tania Why a criminal ban? Analyzing the arguments against somatic cell nuclear transfer in the Canadian parliamentary debate American Journal of Bioethics 2007 February; 7(2): 5161 Abstract: Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) remains a controversial technique, one that has elicited a variety of regulatory responsesthroughout the world. On March 29, 2005, Canada's Assisted Human Reproduction Act came into force. This law prohibits a number of researchactivities, including SCNT. Given the pluralistic nature of Canadian society, the creation of this law stands as an interesting case study of thepolicymaking process and how and why a liberal democracy ends up making the relatively rare decision to use a statutory prohibition, backed bysevere penalties, to stop a particular scientific activity. In this article, we provide a comprehensive and systematic legal analysis of the legislativeprocess and parliamentary debates associated with the passage of this law.



Document 137 Mameli, M. Reproductive cloning, genetic engineering and the autonomy of the child: the moral agent and the open future Journal of Medical Ethics 2007 February; 33(2): 8793 Abstract: Some authors have argued that the human use of reproductive cloning and genetic engineering should be prohibited because thesebiotechnologies would undermine the autonomy of the resulting child. In this paper, two versions of this view are discussed. According to the firstversion, the autonomy of cloned and genetically engineered people would be undermined because knowledge of the method by which thesepeople have been conceived would make them unable to assume full responsibility for their actions. According to the second version, thesebiotechnologies would undermine autonomy by violating these people's right to an open future. There is no evidence to show that peopleconceived through cloning and genetic engineering would inevitably or even in general be unable to assume responsibility for their actions; there isalso no evidence for the claim that cloning and genetic engineering would inevitably or even in general rob the child of the possibility to choosefrom a sufficiently large array of life plans.
