Dan W. Brock, in his essay “Cloning Human Beings: An Assessment on the Ethical Issues Pros and Cons” states that the cloning of human beings would allow infertile couples to finally have a child of their own, where they would carry the privileges and responsibilities of a parent and the child would belong solely to themselves (Brock 32). Reproductive cloning gives the infertile couple a hope of greatly increasing their chance to finally have a child of their own. Infertile couples would no longer carry their emotional pain of the knowledge that they cannot have their own child. In Frankenstein, Frankenstein’s monster sees how human beings act, and like a child, learns how to behave like a real being by copying the behaviors of those that he watches in the cabin, like, for example, how they eat (Shelley 130). In this scenario, Shelley gives the monster a childlike persona as he models the actions of other human beings. This relates to parents who cannot have a child because the monster carries a childlike behavior, for he is made of adult parts but has the mind of someone young, and notices parents on how they should care for their new child. If a couple already has a child of their own, but the child is suffering of an illness or injury, human cloning can be beneficial for “…parents, [who] might be able to save identical copies of embryos so that, if their child ever needed an organ transplant or such, the mother could give birth to the child’s identical twin, a perfect match for organ donation” (“Embryo Cloning: The Counterpoint 46). The child that is endangered can be saved because of their newly born twin. This potential scientific advancement can save many children’s lives, such as children dying of cancer. Cloning is astonishingly useful for parents who are infertile or for parents who have a child that is
