Human cloning is the process of making a genetically identical human through nonsexual means. While it could help infertile couples have children with their own genes, human cloning is considered unethical by most religions. It is also very expensive, with only 30 successful clones produced for every 1000 attempts. Overall, the document argues that human cloning could degrade and devalue human life, so it should not be allowed despite potential benefits.
