    U.Nresearchers said on the 9th, the international community is facing a serious choice: a total ban on human cloning or ready to accept the birth of a cloneThe Japan-based United Nations University of Advanced Studies has called for the best possible solution, which could be to ban human cloning, but at the same time allow countries to strictly regulate therapeutic research, including stem cell researchAlmost all countries are opposed to human cloning, and more than 50 countries have laws prohibiting human cloning, the report saidBut the lack of a binding global law opens the door for scientists from countries that do not prohibit human cloning to make human clonesOne of the report's authors, human rights lawyer Tobin, said that if reproductive cloning was not banned, it would be only a matter of time before human cloning came to our planet, and that if some countries were allowed to continue to do so, the international community must be held accountable to ensure that any cloned body was adequately protected by human rightsProponents of cloning research have long argued that cloning has offered great hope for the production of alternative human tissues and could cureofdiseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and diabetesThe report suggests that cell cloning research should be allowed, but that cloning is by no means intended to replicate a person or animalThe report also calls for strict controls to prevent the uncontrolled production and destruction of embryos(Feng Weidong)
