What are the ethical advantages of cloning and transplanting cattle embryos?

In: Cattle Reproduction, Embryology [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are no ethical advantages to transplanting embryos. Ethical has to do with morals or right and wrong. Certainly there could be advantages, depending on the circumstances. However, bypassing a natural process in reproduction can not be considered to be the right thing to do short of a last ditch effort to save an endangered species and even that is questionable.
