- Research Cloning Arguments Pro and Con
Reasons for Concern about Research Cloning 1 Perfection of techniques to create clonal human embryos would make it more difficult to prevent the births of human clones If clonal embryos free of reprogramming errors can be created, establishing pregnancies is likely to be a trivial procedure Without a system of strict public oversight and control, some of the clonal embryos created in
