Which statement is commonly cited in support of human reproductive cloning?

• A. Appeals to reproductive liberty.
• B. Benefits to infertile couples.
• C. It undermines the right to a unique identity.
• D. It will result in the demeaning artificial manufacture of children as products.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding what supporters point to as a concrete benefit of human reproductive cloning. Proponents often argue that cloning would help infertile couples achieve genetic parenthood, giving them a child who is genetically related to both partners or to a parent, depending on the approach. This direct, tangible outcome—making reproduction possible for those who cannot conceive naturally—is the most common and straightforward justification offered in favor of cloning, especially when discussing family-building options and reproductive autonomy.

The other statements are more about potential ethical concerns or philosophical critiques rather than direct benefits. Claims framed as reproductive liberty are broader rights arguments, not specific outcomes for infertile couples. And concerns about identity or commodification reflect objections rather than reasons to support cloning.
