Illegal Beings: Human Clones
Re: Giving the Devil Half...
libfemme ( 04/24/2004, 16:56:16 )I know of no government official of any country who has publicly said to the press that their country welcomes reproductive cloning. However, nearly all countries have been pressured to specifically pass a law against reproductive cloning and have refused to do so.The United States government, meaning the executive branch, along with the Holy See (the Pope) and several Catholic countries have tried repeatedly to get the UN to pass a resolution, not a binding law, just a statement opposed to all forms of cloning and it has failed every time. The countries that are willing to face the US opposition openly have been Iran and other muslim countries who have little to lose by pissing off the President of the United States diplomatically.Other countries who are allies of the US don't want to pass a cloning ban in their country but don't want to oppose the US openly on what is an emotional issue for GWB. So they let Iran take the lead in opposing the ban. But a majority of countries in the UN votes to "shelve" the resolution. Meaning don't vote on it. A way of not passing it without having to go on the record against it.Zanos Pavos, a geneticist from Kentucky in favor or reproductive cloning, has said that there are other countries who are privately, quietly willing to allow reproductive cloning in their borders. It has been suggested that at one time or another South Korea, Greece, Turkey, China, some Muslim countries and possibly some others that are not Catholic not fundamentalists protestant, do not have the big hangup about assisted reproductive methods that the President of the United States and the Pope has.Has cloning been done privately? Well it doesn't take a lot of expensive equipment. Hundreds of university labs around the world have the equipment now. Any research company or university lab that does animal cloning or any medical facility that does fertility treatments on humans can easily clone a human cell. It is a matter of getting enough human eggs. In the US college students usually sell their eggs to research organization. In Korea, several women donated their eggs free for their research on human cloning.
