ABSTRACT
In its Conclusions in a Report to the President of the Republic of France, the French National Ethical Consultative Committee for the Life and Health Sciences in France set out a definition of cloning: ‘Cloning consists of producing a population of individuals all of which possess an identical set of genes in the nucleus of their cells.’ Human cloning is basically the production of genetically identical human beings and can certainly be regarded as part of the reproductive revolution that was hailed in the 1980s and 1990s. Chapter 19 distinguishes between the two distinct forms of cloning and discusses both the English law position and ethical considerations.
