Abstract
Starting from James Rachels's Principle of Agency , this dissertation calls in question the anathema of the human reproductive cloning and supports its admissibility by the human systems of kinship thanks to certain of their ethnophysiologic conceptions of the reproduction. But the anathema being fundamentally religious because cloning invalidates christian philosophical anthropology in general and catholic in particular, the dissertation proposes as solution the negative anthropology which postulates the impossibility of a synthetic vision of man in the unceasingly moving context of our representations. In this context marked by the failure of morals and anthropology to support the prohibition of cloning, the analysis concludes that the rejection of negative anthropology would be the sign that this prohibition is justified by a psychoanalytical reason rather than moral or anthropological, namely the narcissistic wound which it inflicts on presumedly last bastion of human dignity that the biological uniqueness would be.
