This includes surrogate mothers for women without a functional uterus, intracytoplasmic sperm injection for males who can t produce viable sperm, and IVF for women with blocked or missing fallopian tubes. However, these treatments have proven to be highly inefficient and they can t help people whose reproductive organs have not developed or have been removed. Twelve million Americans are infertile at child bearing age. They will pursue years of painful and expensive treatments to have little chance of success. Human cloning can offer infertile people a higher chance of success.
Most people are infertile because they can t produce viable gametes.
Cloning technology wouldn t require viable sperm or egg, any body cell would do. This technology would be able to bypass defective gametes and allow infertile people to have their own biological children. Cloning technology may even prevent clinical depression, divorce, and suicide among infertile people. This is because infertility often leads to them. Cloning technology can help perfect gene therapy, the actual correction or replacement of defective gene sequences.
