Cloning

Anthony McCarthy

The teaching of the Catholic Church regarding human cloning is closely linked to her teaching on the sanctity of life, the status of the embryo and the meaning of sex and marriage. It addresses the tensions between the relief of the suffering - which can be sought in good or bad ways - and respect for every human being. 

Anthony McCarthy sets out the scientific background to cloning, explains the Church's teaching, and examines secular arguments for and against human cloning.
