Human Cloning for Embryotic Stem Cells

 Is cloning humans for embryotic stem cells considered abortion?

High Failure Rate

The process of cloning has a very high Failure rate. Only 0.1% - 0 .3% of attempted clones actually succeed in producing a baby that has reached full term.

Why?

The enucleated egg and the transferred nucleus may not be compatible

An egg with a newly transferred nucleus may not begin to divide or develop properly

Implantation of the embryo into the surrogate mother might fail

The pregnancy itself might fail
