| Tiivistelmä: | While most discussions of human cloning start and end with ethics, this paper analyses the economics of human cloning. The author analyses the incentives for cloning and its implications for the long-run distribution of skills and income. The author discusses models of human cloning for different motives, focusing on those that tend to produce new human beings with improved ability. The author distinguishes three cases: cloning as a means of assisted reproduction for infertile couples, cloning by fertile couples aimed at producing high ability offspring and, finally, financially motivated cloning. The third case supposes that the creator of a clone can appropriate some fraction of the clone's future income. |
