Answer:
Like all other serious threats to human dignity -- such as torture, racial discrimination and terrorism -- the reproductive cloning of human beings required a binding universal norm to prevent it, the new United Nations Ad Hoc Committee on an International Convention against the Reproductive Cloning of Human Beings heard this morning, as it opened its first-ever general debate on the question.
The representative of Germany, speaking also on behalf of France, warned that human cloning experiments would have far-reaching effects on the preservation of human dignity. It was critical to come to terms with that challenge, swiftly and without delay. The legal and moral power of a binding global norm would prevent dishonest competition among researchers in the field. Both delegations sought the conclusion of a treaty before the end of 2003.
This is the first session of the Committee, established by the General Assembly last December in response to a request by France and Germany to evolve a convention banning human cloning. In a day-long discussion yesterday, scientific and bioethical experts laid out the science and identified the key areas of the debate. Today, 21 speakers expressed serious concern over the rapid pace of developments in the field, with many calling for a human rights-based approach to negotiating a convention. The line appeared to demarcate those seeking a total ban from those favouring a partial one to allow for medical advances in the prevention and treatment of disease.
