Germany seeks sweeping UN cloning ban
31 October 2003

NEW YORK - Germany is advocating a broad, worldwide ban on human cloning at the 
United Nations, a high-ranking Foreign
Ministry official said in New York.

Kerstin Mueller told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that she has found strong 
support at the world organization for a
strong anti- cloning convention during discussions with diplomats including 
John Negroponte, United States ambassador
to the UN.

Germany, which outlawed all human cloning last year in legislation passed with 
cross-party support, is seeking a global
ban that would include therapeutic cloning.

Advocates of therapeutic cloning in Great Britain, Japan, China and Brazil 
expect the method to eventually produce
replacements for damaged or diseased human tissue and organs.
