שאלה:

Can you tell me halachic ramifications regarding the legality of cloning in halacha? When would you be allowed to clone? Can or cannot humans be cloned from a torah perspective? Can you clone an animal?

תשובה:

This topic is a complex one, which raises both hard-core halachic quesitons and also general hashkafic issues. I would like to forward you to a number of articles about the issue:
1. "Human Cloning: Scientifics,Ethical and Jewish Perspective."
(JME Vol. III No. 2 September 1998)
by Prof. Avraham Steinberg
https://www.medethics.org.il/articles/JMEB.1.15.pdf
Towards the end of the article is a halachic summary and practical suggestions.

2. The report: The Use of Embryonic Stem Cells for Therapeutic Research.
by the Bioethics Advisory Committee

4."Torah Perspectives on Cloning" Part I and Part II, by Rabbi Chaim Jachter.
