Due to the lack of knowledge surrounding the mental aspects of reproductive cloning, many scientists believe that an attempt to clone humans would be unethical. The major uncertainty correlated to reproductive cloning is its impact on the clone’s mental development. While mental factors in cloned animals may not be significant, they are vital to the development of a healthy child. Couples who wish to “replace” a child via reproductive cloning could possibly place heavy psychological burdens on the clone. If a clone fails to live up to expectations, the likely result would be psychological trauma for the entire family, including the disappointed parents. Since reproductive cloning only replicates the genetic material of the progenitor, the possibility of producing an exact “replica” will be nothing more than an illusion because both children will be raised in under different environments, and therefore will have different personalities. Therefore, cloning will merely attempt to fill a void, but will never reach a pinnacle in which it can exactly duplicate a person. Due to the numerous uncertainties linked to mental development, combined with extreme dangers and inefficiency, attempting to clone humans for the time being is ethically irresponsible.
