Sorry this is my last question before I begin my final draft. Can you please explain to me what this means. I found it in a book. I know that it can be a possible positive ethic of reproductive cloning. Thank you for all of your help. I have learned a lot along the way while writing this paper. Thanks

Proponents of cloning suggested it might serve as a new, unusual but perhaps efficacious treatment for infertility, enabling those unable to pass genes to future generations to do so in a way that is at least equivalant to the linkage of twins.

When a couple can't conceive a baby, reproductive cloning may provide a solution for them. They would produce a child who was an exact copy of the mother -- and thus pass her genes along to her child -- and thus to generations to come.

My personal opinion is that is a scary prospect. Ye gads! Does anyone in their right mind what an exact copy of herself (or himself)?

Good luck Michele. I know you've learned a lot -- as have I. So -- you're welcome -- and thank you.

I'm sure you'll have a great paper.

An off-the-wall thought --

Many years ago I read a fictional story in which Adolf Hitler was cloned dozens of times. Omg!!

The sentence you provided suggests that proponents of cloning believe it could be a potential solution for infertility. They argue that cloning might offer a unique and effective method for individuals who are unable to pass on their genetic material to future generations. Cloning, in this context, is seen as a way to replicate oneself and create an offspring that shares the same genetic makeup. The sentence also mentions the concept of "linkage of twins," which means that the genetic connection between cloned offspring and the individual producing them could be similar to the genetic relationship between twins. In other words, proponents of cloning believe it could provide a means for infertile individuals to have descendants with their own genetic traits.
