Vote Against GA resolution The Cloning Conventions
Resolution Analysis
The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, having reviewed the resolution currently at vote, has found that while it is undoubtedly well intended, has several serious flaws. Chiefly among these being that The Cloning Conventions would seem to outlaw cloning when used during IVF, as well as the cloning of embryos. Secondly, this resolution suffers from poor definitions and unclear language in some of its clauses. Finally, in its closing clause it again, using unclear language that leaves far too much room for interpretation, either strips the World Assembly Science Programme from any oversight over cloning or creates a bureaucratic competition between the Word Assembly Science Programme and the Biomedical Innovation Organization.
For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote against the resolution.
