cloning could cause birth defect If cloned babies start showing up in hospital nurseries, scientists predict that they will be hooked up to respirators because their hearts and lungs will have been deformed. Feeding tubes also might be necessary for infants who have brain damage and cannot suckle. Others might have extensive physical abnormalities. Even those born with a normal appearance probably would experience epilepsy, autism or behavioral abnormalities. Cloning allows man to tamper with genetics in human beings

reproduction of undesirable traits

"All of the data on animal cloning demonstrates exceptionally high rates of fetal loss, abortion (and) neonatal deaths, and many cloned animals have devastating birth defects," says Gerald Schatten, vice chairman of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

"When people are working with farm animals or laboratory mice and there is a newborn that is suffering, veterinarians can euthanize the animal. Are people who are attempting to clone humans going to euthanize suffering children?"

Technically no. An animal has roughly the same genetic makeup as a human and it should be theoretically the same. However there are serious ethic implications to cloning a human as cloning experiments have a very low success rate and it is likely that whatever will be created will be in great pain or horribly deformed.
