Bill: Cloning Regulation Act 2170

Details

Submitted by^[?]: Democratic Socialist Party

Status^[?]: passed

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: August 2170

Description^[?]:

This act will protect human life whilst allowing the furthering of science and medical research in particular by regulating research into human cloning.
Unregulated cloning puts human lives at risk as unscrupulous scientists who 'succeed' in their attempts may bring into the world children who are severely deformed and whos quality of life would be minimal. We must act to ensure that human cloning is performed only by reputable scientists, and that only when the technology is ready can we consider cloning techniques safe.

Proposed: Research in cloning technologies is legal, but regulated.

To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	Ah, so you want the government to control human lives? Quite Orwellian.

Message	You can't choose the government in either system... Wait a minute...

From	Independent Capitalist Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	Well, the people chose us as elected representatives to voice their opinions. Let's see what the people want on this issue...

Date	04:09:56, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Lord-General Drache Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	I'd prefer to have some regulation in cloning, such as not allowing self-aware clones. Harvesting them for organs is perfectly acceptable, but the last thing we need is a large number of ambulatory, sentient clones giving us a possible threat of population explosion, which is certaintly unneeded.

Message	"Ah, so you want the government to control human lives? Quite Orwellian." There is a difference between controlling the individual and protecting human rights.

Date	13:15:37, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Independent Capitalist Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	Yes, and I see you controlling an individual.

Date	16:32:47, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Democratic Liberal Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	We can completely see the benefits of this act. Clonong is not something that should be prohibited, but it should certainly have a government eye on it, we therefore will vote for the bill.

Date	18:52:58, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Independent Capitalist Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	If this passes, the ICP and HCP will, when regaining the majority for representing the majority opinion of Aloria, not only make cloning legal but also government funded.

Date	21:02:55, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Aloria Green Socialist Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	You and HCP won't gain a full majority with just the 2 of you... Surely?

Date	21:03:51, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Aloria Green Socialist Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	(why government funded? Isn't that communist Shouldn't you let the market decide :-p

Date	21:12:51, January 12, 2006 CET
From	Independent Capitalist Party
To	Debating the Cloning Regulation Act 2170
Message	Actually, it is possible. Representing the majority of opinions between two parties could possibly lead to a full majority between us. (It would be government funding as temporary reparations for the periods of restriction the government imposed. :P)
