Human cloning, for whatever reason, is a practice contrary to human dignity and should never be allowed. Pope John Paul II has spoken out against human cloning on many occasions.

These techniques, he said, insofar as they involve the manipulation and destruction of human embryos are not morally permissible, even when their goal is good in itself.
