Cloning human embryos as a method of human reproduction would be something that I think should be legal if it were not for the fact that there is a lot of practical problems with the procedure.

I'm sure you realize that I have no problem with cloning embryos for research, but I do have a big problem with actually producing children or developed fetuses until and unless we can do it safely, at least. It's bad enough that human couples produce defective children through either accident or irresponsibility at great cost to both the children and society. We certainly shouldn't be legitimizing that kind of irresponsibility.

I don't know exactly what these problems are or why they occur.

I don't know. I haven't followed it that closely. I figure that when they figure out how to do it safely and reliably with sheep is plenty of time to revisit doing it with humans.
