Sažetak
In the contemporary discussion holistic ethics and the principle of responsibility have been stressed, which, in moral performance of a person, imply the virtue of responsibility. Cloning of live beings on lower levels raises a number of questions, and with homo sapiens species this is pronounced even more. Biblical anthropology stresses the unity of man–person as physical and spiritual being. In that light it also looks at human sexuality, marriage and the dignity of transmitting human life. Some painful experiences connected to methods of assisted procreation, indicate greater caution when it comes to a possibility or a wish to clone man. Except for the knowledge – that has become power – the virtue of the wisdom of life is indispensable for further survival and progress of humankind.
