Some of jurisprudents have disclaimed it due to various issues such as heritage, alimony, custodianship, intimacy, removal of humanity, lack of recognition of cloned people, required of sexual relationship, removal of maternity concepts, removal of family, development of illegal sexual relations in special cases. It seems that we should deeply consider the case. Therefore it is unable to prove any permission for human cloning.
