Crafting a Consensus On Therapeutic Cloning

Pollack, Robert

In "Crafting a Consensus On Therapeutic Cloning," Robert Pollack discusses the ethical, scientific, and political challenges surrounding the issue of therapeutic cloning. He reflects on the history of bioethical debates, particularly the recombinant DNA discussions in the 1970s, and contrasts them with the current climate around cloning. Pollack advocates for a voluntary moratorium on certain cloning practices to allow for thoughtful reflection and the establishment of a regulatory framework that could support therapeutic cloning while addressing ethical concerns. He emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that recognizes the potential benefits of therapeutic cloning in medicine while safeguarding against its misuse.
