The ethical implications of human clones have been much alluded to, but have seldom been examined with any rigour. This paper examines the possible uses and abuses of human cloning and draws out the principal ethical dimensions, both of what might be done and its meaning. The paper examines some of the major public and official responses to cloning by authorities such as President Clinton, the World Health Organisation, the European parliament, UNESCO, and others and reveals their inadequacies as foundations for a coherent public policy on human cloning. The paper ends by defending a conception of reproductive rights of "procreative autonomy" which shows human cloning to be not inconsistent with human rights and dignity.
人类克隆的伦理问题已多有提及，但鲜有严谨审视。本文探讨了人类克隆可能的用途及滥用情况，并梳理出其主要伦理层面，涵盖可能的做法及其意义。本文审视了克林顿总统、世界卫生组织、欧洲议会、联合国教科文组织等权威机构对克隆的一些主要公众及官方回应，揭示了这些回应作为人类克隆连贯公共政策基础的不足之处。本文最后捍卫了“生育自主权”这一生殖权利概念，表明人类克隆与人权及尊严并非相悖。
