Cloning human organisms may have quite different goals. The object may be to produce a human organism that will develop into a normal person. Alternatively, the goal may be to produce a human embryo for scientific research purposes, or as a source of stem cells to be used in medical treatments. Yet another possibility is the creation of a human to serve as a future organ bank for some presently existing person. In this essay, I shall consider whether cloning is or is not morally permissible in each of these three cases.
