Bush failed to ban cloning!

Bush was aggressively pushing for UN treaty banning all human cloning, defining it very broad to include stem cell research.  He failed miserably - at least for now.

"The outcome - an agreement to come up with a nonbinding declaration against cloning to reproduce humans - fell far short of the American goal and represented a setback for President Bush. He called for a worldwide ban on all cloning when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly in August, and he made limiting stem cell and other related research an issue in his presidential campaign.

... A declaration is important for what it's not," said Bernard Siegel, the executive director of the Genetics Policy Institute, who had lobbied against the American-led campaign. "It is not a treaty, it is nonbinding, and it will have no chilling effect on therapeutic cloning, and stem cell research will advance. We consider this a triumph.""

Yes, pushing the rest of the world to adopt "Bush's values" is hard work!
