Bioethics in relation to human reproductive cloning

The author takes a closer look at one of the more controversial issues of human reproductive cloning; an issue widely discussed in recent years by bioethicists, theologians, sociologists, lawyers and also politicians. The book discusses cloning, its typology and the history of its development. The fundamental arguments for and against this biomedical technology are presented. The arguments of both the supporters of further progress in biological and experimental science and its opponents are presented, including the positions represented by the representatives of personalistic Christian bioethics as well as the supporters of utilitarian bioethics. The text addresses the key problems that bioethics faces in the context of further biomedical progress, such as the question of the value of human life, the question of the status of human beings, or the question of their identity. These topics have not only a theoretical character, but also a practical aspect.
