Another position defends the use of human cloning in medically based
circumstances, provided that the safety of the procedure can be
guaranteed.8
According to this perspective, clone would meet an infertile comple's
desire to participate biologically in development of a new human being,
and it could nurture the emotional bond between the partners. If
conceiving a child with the genes of atleast one partner is highly
important for infertile couples, or is they have reservations about
using the genetics of anonymous donors, human clone would be welcome
alternative.9
Human
cloning would solve the problem of finding a transplant donor who is an
acceptable organ or tissue match and would eliminate, or drastically
reduce, the risk of transplant rejection by the host. The availability
of human cloning for this purpose would amount to a form of insurance
policy to enable treatment of certain kinds of medical needs.10,11,12
Kahn (1989) has proposed human cloning then might well produce
individuals with exceptional capacities, but we simply do not know how
close their clones would be in capacities or accomplishments to the
great individuals for whom they were cloned.13 Human cloning and research on human cloning might make possible important advances in scientific knowledge.14
