Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy, Board on Life Sciences, National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences (of the United States) Scientific and Medical Aspects of Human Reproductive Cloning. (... this report from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences looks at the scientific and medical aspects of human reproductive cloning--an assisted reproductive technology that would be carried out with the goal of creating a newborn genetically identical to another human being. The panel of scientists who produced this report concluded that--based on experience with reproductive cloning in animals--human reproductive cloning would be dangerous for the woman, fetus, and newborn, and is likely to fail. The study panel did not address the issue of whether human reproductive cloning, even if it were found to be medically safe, would be—or would not be—acceptable to individuals or society.
