A:
Preview: ... from the cell of an adult with the desired traits might produce an infant with similar potential. A heterosexual couple where in the husband is completely sterile could utilize adult DNA to produce a child. The process of reproductive cloning might prove to be satisfactory for such couples as compared to using the sprem of another man. Even lesbians could opt to have a child through reproductive cloning rather than by artificial insemination by a man's sperm. Each of them would contribute part of her body to the fertilized ovum; one woman would donate the ovum, which contains some genetic material in its mitochondria, and the other woman the nuclear genetic material. Both would have parts of their bodies involved in the conception. They might derive more satisfaction than in-vitro fertilization using a man's sperm. These advantages seem to be of least importance as compared to its many disadvantages. <br><br>4.It is a deadly issue for sure and has lot of negative impacts/disadvantages.
