这一观点阐述并回应了关于人的生殖性克隆可能破坏我们的自我或身份感的三条论点。首先，克隆会破坏我们的个性或独特性。但它只会破坏我们的基因独特性，而不是我们完整的个性。第二，克隆会损害人的价值或价值。但这不会使个人变得可替代或道德价值降低。第三，克隆人构建自己生活的自由或自主性会因早期双胞胎的存在而受到损害。但是，只有对基因决定论的错误信念才支持这种令人担忧的自由丧失。
This Viewpoint formulates and responds to three Lines of argument concerning human reproductive cloning's potential to undermine our sense of self or identity. First, cloning would undermine our sense of individuality or uniqueness. But it could only undermine our genetic uniqueness, not our full individuality. Second, cloning would undermine the value or worth of human beings. But it would not make individuals replaceable or of any Less moral worth. Third, a clone's freedom or autonomy to construct his or her own life would be undermined by the presence of an earlier twin. But only a mistaken belief in genetic determinism supports this feared loss of freedom.
