THE MORALITY OF REPRODUCTIVE CLONING. A SOLUTION FROM THE UTILITARIANPHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The concept of reproductive cloning refers to the possibility of being able to have offspring through the use oftechnology, with the exception that it is our own genes that are used to carry it out.The problem faced by this typeof assisted reproduction technique is that of morality or immorality. In order to better elucidate whether it is viableor not, a general analysis will be made from the utilitarian perspective. In this paper it will be proposed that themorality around the technique of reproductive cloning does not violate the foundations of human dignity. Thetheme of Arrow's Paradox will be addressed and the concept of Domain Restriction will be proposed as atheoretical framework for the solution of said paradox
