status of embryo, cloning, human beingAbstract
The attempts of cloning on animals, especially those in the context of human cloning, provoked numerous discussions on the status of human embryo. Giving the answer to the question concerning the status of embryo since its very first moments of its existence could eliminate many controversies. When discussing humanity at its early stage of development many biological and philosophical terms are used in Italian literature. Among the interpretations of data concerning the development of human embryo created in the process of cloning, there are many theories and criteria of its humanity. They may be divided into two parts: a human being from the beginning and a human being at a later stage. The first stage quotes such arguments as genetics, the continuity of development, individuality, and identity. Whereas the second includes: totipotence , implantation in womb, brain activity, awareness, being accepted by mother and society.
