All these alleged 'ethics experts' claim that there is some moral reason
against reproductive cloning, but I've never actually seen anyone detail
the philosophical principles for such a claim. Can anyone point to some
arguments against reproductive cloning that are not just "because it's
so" statements?
### Back when Dolly was cloned I emailed Dr Caplan, the bioethicist at
U.Penn who seemed to oppose cloning but he was unable to present any
coherent arguments against it. The old "human dignity" trick seems to one of
the concepts that sound very nice but when you get into details it totally
falls apart.
