The biggest ethical issue with cloning and genetic manipulation generally in humans is it's essentially experimenting on a human subject that can't consent and will have life long health impacts from the process.

- rtkwe 7y agoAnd abortion is an extremely touchy subject partially for that reason, the question of who gets to choose and who gets protected is kind of the core of the debate, along with when a person is made. With GE though it's less messy because there's definitely a second person at the end of a GE'd baby (that's the whole goal of doing it after all) that's completely separate from the mother/parents.
