Does human reproductive cloning offend God and nature? -- Should children be begotten and not made? -- Do human clones lack individuality? -- Could human clones destroy humanity? -- Does human reproductive cloning harm participants and produce children with birth defects? -- What anticloning laws say and do -- Five objections have inspired anticloning laws -- Anticloning laws reflect a policy of existential segregation -- Costs of anticloning laws outweigh their benefits -- Anticloning laws classify human clones and are subject to strict scrutiny -- Anticloning laws inflict judicially cognizable injuries that confer standing -- Anticloning laws violate the equal protection guarantee.
"This book explains that the most common objections to cloning are false or exaggerated. The objections reflect and inspire unjustified stereotypes about human clones. Anti-cloning laws reinforce these stereotypes and stigmatize human clones as subhuman and unworthy of existence. This injures not only human clones but also the egalitarianism upon which our society is based. Applying the same reasoning used to invalidate racial segregation, this book argues that anti-cloning laws violate the equal protection guarantee and are unconstitutional."--Jacket
