Authors

Keywords:

Human Cloning; Human Dignity; Ethics, Theology

Abstract

Ethical and theological debates concerning human cloning are getting more intense as cloning technology continues to develop. This has led to debates originating from both secular ethics and Christian theological perspectives. This paper aims to coordinate the debate according to these two perspectives. It will draw from the positions of Christian theology, the position of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the positions of scientific authorities. It will conclude by stressing the importance of regulating new technologies in a manner which recognizes the shared ethico-theological concerns for human dignity, rights, freedoms, and the moral growth of humanity.
