Many people think human reproductive cloning should be a
crime. In America some states have already outlawed cloning and
Congress is working to enact a national ban. Meanwhile, scientific
research continues, both in America and abroad and soon
reproductive cloning may become possible. If that happens, cloning
cannot be stopped. Infertile couples and others will choose to have
babies through cloning, even if they have to break the law. This
book explains that the most common objections to cloning are false
or exaggerated. The objections reflect and inspire unjustified
stereotypes about human clones and anti-cloning laws reinforce
these stereotypes and stigmatize human clones as subhuman and
unworthy of existence. This injures not only human clones, but also
the egalitarianism upon which our society is based. Applying the
same reasoning used to invalidate racial segregation, this book
argues that anti-cloning laws violate the equal protection
guarantee and are unconstitutional.
