There was disappointment among medical scientists in Britain last year when the government rejected recommendations to ban whole human cloning but permit experiments into cloning human tissue. This would allow scientists to experiment with cloning human cells without actually allowing them to clone people. Researchers' enthusiasm to differentiate between the two types of human cloning has made them great promoters of the virtues of old-fashioned sex as the best procreation method. After all, as Yanagimachi points out, a human child is a half-clone of each parent. Few species reproduce by cloning.
Sexual reproduction produces diversity.
Mother Nature somehow chose this method. There must be a reason for that. No one is perfect and they look in their mate for something missing in themselves so that their children are better. I would very much regret this technique being used to clone a human being, but I don't think cloning is going to be popular. Sex is always going to be viewed as cheaper and more enjoyable.
