There are many issues surrounding the use of assisted fertilsation techniques. Most people, however, see it as science simply giving a helping hand to a man or a woman who cannot have a baby naturally. When it comes to AID the issues are not so clear cut. These fears are in part due to the cloning of the sheep Dolly. It is a criminal offence to transfer human embryos to the womb of a non-human species.
Many people fear the ethical consequences of human cloning.
Such a view of cloning ignores the influences our social environment has on our character. By realising this we can see it is impossible for another Adolf Hitler, with all his evil character traits, to be cloned as such a person would be living in an entirely different period in history. There are some positive benifits of human cloning. For example, cloned material would not be rejected by the body from which the original cell was taken. Cloned tissue could be used for transplants, benefitting the patient and cutting down on animal experiements.
