Quotes to Note

“One cannot teach abstinence and chastity to the youth and then hand out a condom or put the child on birth control and expect the abstinence message to be taken seriously.  Instead, as medical providers, we need to speak of the beauty of chastity and waiting for sex within marriage which is the most sound advice for their overall psychological, spiritual and medical well-being.  What the teens then do with the information affords them some responsibility for their own actions.” --  Maria Meyers, M.D.

 
UN General Assembly & Reproductive Cloning (12/03) PDF Print E-mail

UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY & REPRODUCTIVE CLONING -- Following intensive negotiations among concerned delegations, the General Assembly decided [12/03] by consensus not to take action on two proposals before it on the question of an international convention on reproductive human cloning, and instead adopted a consensus agreement to include the item in the agenda of its 59th  session in 2004.

If the total ban is passed [“International convention against human cloning”], the Assembly would strongly encourage States and other entities to direct funds that might have been used for human cloning technologies to pressing global issues in developing countries such as famine, desertification, infant mortality and diseases, including (HIV/AIDS). [58th  General Assembly, 72nd Meeting www.un.org, 9Dec03]
