(... the author discusses and then responds to three arguments concerning human reproductive cloning's potential to undermine our sense of self or identity. The author states that first, cloning would undermine our sense of individuality or uniqueness. But it could only undermine our genetic uniqueness, not our full individuality. Second, cloning would undermine the value or worth of human beings. But it would not make individuals replaceable or of any less moral worth. Third, a clone's freedom or autonomy to construct his or her own life would be undermined by the presence of an earlier twin. But only a mistaken belief in genetic determinism supports this feared loss of freedom. Other keywords and phrases -- cloned, clones, humans -- from the abstract of the article available through the database, General Science Abstracts) Science Volume 296, Number 5566 (April 12, 2002): 314-316.
