UN urges ban of all human cloning

One of many examples of the Bush administration's black and white approach to the world, and one of their many attempts to push the UN in directions that most countries don't necessarily want to go:

Boston.com / News / World / In Bush win, UN urges ban of all human cloning: "The UN General Assembly yesterday urged governments to ban all human cloning, including the cloning of human embryos for stem-cell research, in a divided vote that handed a symbolic victory to the administration of President Bush."

Interestingly, our traditional ally in the UN, Britain, was opposed to this measure. "Britain condemned the ''intransigence" of nations opposed to cloning for medical reasons."
