This paper explores the diverse social, cultural and scientific facets of coloning as an alternate means of human reproduction. We review the various types, and implications of coloning as practiced in the modern world, specifically as a means of child birth for infertile parents. We also present the Islamic injunctions and worldview on different types of cloning. We assert that although biological cloning can be an productive technological intervention to promote agriculture yield, however it’s application for human reproduction is inappropriate, and finds no support in Islamic injunctions. Therefore, our paper suggest that human cloning should be prohibited acknowledging its socioeconomic demerits.
