On what `BioRights Declaration' does NOT mean...

His Holiness the Governor-General wishes to give voice to his concerns growing over the proposed resolution, `BioRights Declaration'. His Holiness would like to address, in this seperate message chain, what the proposal is not.

No where, His Holiness points out, is there any requirement for nations to engage in any `cloning' endevours and practices. If this proposal is to be taken at face-value, and His Holiness argues it should, the moral issues of the generations and alterations of clones, modified humans, and modified clones, are to be resolved by and within each sovereign.
His Holiness asserts each sovereign is free to produce as few or as many `clones' or `genetically engineered persons' as they desire within their own laws and regulations.
Within the confines of this legislation His Holiness does not see any danger to issues of sovereignty and the rights to, or not to, engage in the practices of `cloning'.

His Holiness expresses disdain for arguments focusing on the morality of the practices known as `cloning', rather than focusing on the protections the proposed legislation offers. His Holiness would remind participants within the BioRights debate on the rules and etiquette of discourse, and the fundamentals of predicate logic.

The last line of my post:
And the list of rights goes on, but to sum it up in words the ignorant delegates would understand: "Genetically engineered persons should have the same protections under law that you would expect to have for yourself".

Your post follows straight after mine and is iterative and complementary. Can you please repost this first post in the biorights thread to keep it all together. I can't stand multiple threads on the exact same issue.
