%X this article specially examines ethical problems settled by cloning human beings from the perspective of personalistic organicism -a philosophical position inspired by alfred north whitehead's work. firstly, it sketches out the scene within which human cloning is a realizable technological possibility, and describes the reactions that it prompts. secondly, it analyses different models under which to think of human clones. particularly, it discusses metaphysical presuppositions that underlie both attribution as well as denial of personhood to human clones. finally, it presents the philosophical perspective of personalistic organicism, and argues in favour of different reasons that we do have to treat human clones as complete person.
