| Summary: | In this paper the authors analyze the process of negotiating and beginning of the United Nations Declaration
on Human Cloning as well as the paragraphs of the very Declaration. The negotiation was originally conceived
as a clear bioethical debate that should have led to a general agreement to ban human cloning. However, more
often it had been discussed about human rights, cultural, civil and religious differences between people and about
priorities in case of eventual conflicts between different value systems. In the end, a non-binding Declaration on
Human Cloning had been adopted, full of numerous compromises and ambiguous formulations, that relativized the
original intention of proposer states. According to authors, it would have been better if bioethical discussion and
eventual regulations on cloning mentioned in the following text had been left over to certain professional bodies,
and only after the public had been fully informed about it should relevant supranational organizations have taken
that into consideration. |
