Abstract

During the evolutionary process of the human species, nature has worked hard on making each human being different from any other. Through sexual reproduction, all genes from the father are put together with those of the mother. These genes combine in infinite ways as to assure that genetically and biologically each one of us is a unique individual. This guarantees the human species success and the uniqueness of every human being. Cloning human beings as a biotechnological possibility, poses serious danger due to the scientific lack of knowledge in such aspects as differentiation and genome reprogramming, as well as it is imperfect because most reconstructed embryos die and is useless due to the genetic imprinting and mutations. It also violates the equality and dignity principles consecrated for any member of the human species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
