Abstract
Can the principles that gave rise to reproductive liberty - principles that undergird the reasoning of several United States Supreme Court decisions - be extended to include the right to clone? I will attempt to answer that question in this paper. However, prior to directly addressing that question, I will (1) explain the science of cloning, and human cloning in particular; (2) present a brief overview of the cloning controversy, as well as the political, legal, and public reactions to it; and (3) discuss the possible uses for cloning, and interact with some of the objections raised against the practice. I believe it is important that we address these three topics so that we may better grasp the issue of cloning and its implications for reproductive liberty.
