I don't believe that efforts to prohibit only so-called reproductive cloning can be successful.

Cloning represents a very clear, powerful, and immediate example in which we are in danger of turning procreation into manufacture.

We are somehow natured, not just to reproduce, but for sociality and even for culture.

Cloning looks like a degrading of parenthood and a perversion of the right relation between parents and children.

There's an ancient tension between wanting to savor the world as it is and wanting to improve on the world as given.

The technological way of thinking has infected even ethics, which is supposed to be thinking about the good.

Many people recognize that technology often comes with unintended and undesirable side effects.
