RT Journal Article ID 182a1bae77c6014d A1 Collmann, Jeff A1 Graber, Glenn T1 Developing a Code of Ethics for Human Cloning JF Critical Reviews™ in Biomedical Engineering JO CRB YR 2000 FD 2000-08-01 VO 28 IS 3&4 SP 563 OP 566 AB Under what conditions might the cloning of human beings constitute an ethical practice? A tendency exists to analyze human cloning merely as a technical procedure. As with all revolutionary technological developments, however, human cloning potentially exists in a broad social context that will both shape and be shaped by the biological techniques. Although human cloning must be subjected to technical analysis that addresses fundamental ethical questions such as its safety and efficacy, questions exist that focus our attention on broader issues. Asserting that cloning inevitably leads to undesirable consequences commits the fallacy of technological determinism and untenably separates technological and ethical evaluation. Drawing from the Report of the National Bioethics Advisory Committee and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World we offer a draft "Code of Ethics for Human Cloning" in order to stimulate discussion about the ethics of the broader ramifications of human cloning as well as its particular technological properties.
