Why We're Still Not Cloning Humans

Human cloning remains an elusive goal despite scientific advancements in genetics and reproductive technologies due to ethical, technical, and safety concerns. The ethical implications of creating a genetically identical copy of a person raise fundamental questions about individual identity, autonomy, and the potential for exploitation. Technical hurdles also persist, as the process of cloning often results in developmental abnormalities, health risks, and psychological issues for cloned individuals. The long-term effects of cloning on human development, behavior, and society are largely unknown, further complicating the feasibility of human cloning. Until these ethical, technical, and safety concerns are adequately addressed, the prospect of cloning humans remains a topic of intense debate and scientific caution.
