China supports formulation of convention banning human cloning
( 2002-02-27 11:28 ) (8 )

Chinese delegate to the United Nations Chen Xu on Tuesday said the Chinese government supports the formulation of an early convention banning human cloning.

In a speech at a general debate held by the United Nations Ad Hoc Committee on an International Convention Against the Reproductive Cloning of Human Beings, Chen said that there was an imperative need to work out legal rules, and he expressed his appreciation for the efforts made by France and Germany in that regard.

Chen said the Chinese government firmly opposes human cloning and also rejects any experiment in human cloning, as it would threaten human dignity.

Meanwhile, he said, a distinction should be made between therapeutic and reproductive cloning. Embryonic stem-cell research for the purpose of treating and preventing disease should be encouraged, but bioethics and universal norms should guide that process so that it develops in an orderly fashion and is strictly supervised, Chen added.

Chen also said that the Chinese government and the scientific community are following the progress of cloning technology and staying informed of the ethical concerns.

He said domestic legislation in various countries treats therapeutic cloning differently, and whatever their choices in that regard, domestic policies should be respected, as should the various philosophical, cultural and religious circumstances that have led to the legislation.

He also said that while preparing the convention, the Ad Hoc Committee should listen carefully to the overall appraisals of scientists and bioethicists on the positive impact of cloning technology on mankind, in order to make an informed decision.

The UN Ad Hoc Committee, established by the General Assembly last December, met this morning to hold a general debate on the ethics and science of human cloning. The first-ever session of the Ad Hoc Committee, which started Monday and is due to conclude on Friday, has as its purpose the elaboration of a negotiating strategy for a possible convention.

During the general debate on Tuesday, a total of 21 speakers expressed serious concern over the rapid pace of developments in the field of cloning, 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 favoring a partial one to allow for medical advances in the prevention and treatment of disease.
