Which type of cloning is ethically and legally objectionable ?
Reproductive
Cloning is classified by purpose. Reproductive cloning aims to create a whole new organism genetically identical to the donor, as with Dolly the sheep (1996). Therapeutic cloning uses somatic cell nuclear transfer to produce embryonic stem cells for research and treatment, not to produce a born individual.
Reproductive cloning, especially of human beings, is widely held to be ethically objectionable: it raises serious safety risks, threatens the individuality and dignity of the clone, and treats a person as a means. The UN Declaration on Human Cloning (2005) and the laws of many countries prohibit it.
Therapeutic cloning is permitted under regulation in several countries. ‘Animal’ and ‘human’ name the organism being cloned, not a type of cloning, and animal cloning is legally practised.
Hence, the answer is Reproductive.
