Why did you clone me? (Question asked when all that was sacred had been desecrated)

Abstract
Biotechnology is ceasing to speak in fiction, because many of its research steps are surprisingly becoming everyday reality. Even human cloning, however great the technological obstacles to its realisation may still be, cannot seem to remain unaffected by this dynamic. Hence the imperative need for ethical reflection in anticipation of what may happen sooner or later. Professor Pérez Tapias offers some contributions along these lines, based on the hypothesis that the future cloned being will inevitably ask its creators why it has been cloned. This puts on the table our assumptions about what a person is, assumptions that have to do with the defence of the recognition of a remaining sacredness in nature which, as untouchable, calls for reverence for life.
