Besides the death of human life at its embryonic stage, what other risks are involved in cloning?
There is always the concern that human life will become a commodity rather than appreciated as a blessing from God. When the true value of human life is diminished, it is possible to rationalize and justify actions that are otherwise considered unethical and harmful.

Reproductive cloning is done in the same manner, but for a completely different intent. The goal of sustaining a human life is commendable and more desirable than the planned destruction of those lives, but the inherent risks involved in the cloning process make
