[extropy-chat] UN Delays Decision on Human Cloning

[natashavita at earthlink.net]

Here's some good news -

"November 6, 2003; UNITED NATIONS, New York City (AP and CNN) -- The United
Nations voted narrowly Thursday to delay for two years any consideration of
a treaty to ban human cloning, an issue that has left the world body
bitterly divided.  Facing rival resolutions on a total ban or a partial
ban, the General Assembly's legal committee voted 80-79 to accept a motion
introduced by Iran on behalf of the 57 Islamic nations to postpone U.N.
action on the issue. Fifteen countries abstained."

**Now if we could have the gates open for theraputic clonging, I'd be
really happy.
