tailieunhanh - NATIONAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS REGARDING HUMAN CLONING FOR REPRODUCTIVE AND THERAPEUTIC/RESEARCH PURPOSES

The Lao People’s Democratic Republic National Growth and Poverty Eradication Strategy (the equivalent of its Poverty Reduction Strategy) marks population issues, including SRH and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as national priorities, while acknowledging limited success in previous reproductive health initiatives. The current draft for 2011–2015 is targeted towards achieving the MDGs, and priority directions are less explicit in terms of reproductive health (see Box 3). The MDG 5A target is ambitious, given the progress in the previous phase, and in current drafts the MDG 5B target – universal access to reproductive health – does not feature. Securing specific budget allocations. | ISASI . KNOPPERS .

Human cloning an umbrella phrase used traditionally by scientists to describe various processes for duplicating biological material has sparked worldwide interest due to its scientific and ethical implications. In 2005 the United Nations adopted the Declaration on Human Cloning which prohibit s all forms of human cloning inasmuch as they are incompatible with human dignity and the protection of human life. This nonbinding text won the vote of only 84 countries demonstrating is a lack of global consensus regarding human cloning. The following report provides a comparative overview of regulatory approaches to human cloning whether reproductive or therapeutic across 16 countries. Depending on the moral or legal status given to the human embryo by each country reproductive and therapeutic cloning is defined and regulated differently among the countries. The major goal of this study is to provide an analytical understanding of the policy landscape around the globe with an aim to contribute to worldwide policy debates. 2 ISASI . KNOPPERS .
