Shallow are the souls that have forgotten how to shudder

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

There is a lot of hype and fear about this much-talked-about prospect of designer babies.

We owe our existence to our parents, but we actually didn't have a choice.

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

In cloning, in contrast, reproduction is asexual - the cloned child is the product not of two but of one.

Perhaps you could sympathize with those who seek to replace a dead child with a copy, or to copy a parent or a relative or even a celebrity.
