SNT technology may identify ways to treat diseases that currently lack any effective treatment. SNT research may also contribute to the alleviation of disabilities for which there is an unsatisfactory treatment. In other words, two classes of people may benefit from science with SNT: those whose disor- ders currently lack any useful therapy and those whose disorders might be more effectively controlled. Some bioethics com- mentary has insisted that, as a matter of social justice, biomedical research should focus on people who suffer from gravely disabling conditions for which there is no effective therapy9 Using this logic, a case can be made that human SNT research should be pursued as a matter of moral priority if it works to alleviate the conditions of profoundly ill people for whom there are currently no effective therapies. Some commentators maintain that SNT research is not the only pathway to biomedical progress. These commenta- tors believe that other programs of research can lead to the medical innova- tions attributed to human SNT re- Whether this is true remains to be seen, but it does remain true that some scientists and commentators believe that SNT research will lead to important biomedical discoveries that cannot be achieved any other way. On the basis of its relative importance in contributing to both basic research and to medical technology, it can be said that there are strong moral incentives for conducting SNT research that has as its goal the understanding and treatment of human diseases and The ethics of reproductive cloning Probably the most controversial aspect of human SNT is the possibility of its use to produce a child. At present there is, however, a strong ethical consensus that A there is insufficient evidence of safety to justify efforts to produce human beings with S
