Another reason for implementing cloning is suggested by the well‐known case of the Ayala parents in California (Grogan, 1990), who decided to have another child in the hope – which turned out to be successful ‐‐ that the resulting child would be able to donate bone marrow for a transplant operation that would save the life of their teenage daughter who was suffering from leukemia. If cloning had been possible at the time, a course of action would have been available to them that, unlike having another child in the normal way, would not have been chancy: if they could have cloned the child who was ill, a tissue match would have been certain.
