lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a while ago, one Member quite rightly condemned cloning in this plenary and called for it to be universally rejected. What he failed to do, however, was to make a proper distinction between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. With regard to reproductive cloning, I am sure we all agree that this is an inhuman or dehumanising technique that must be rejected. The same cannot be said, however, for therapeutic cloning. A way must be left open for science, scientists and the scientific community to experiment in innovative fields that have enormous potential for medicine. The dogmatic individuals who are opposed to any type of cloning are the staunchest allies of those who would allow secrecy, charlatanism and trafficking to flourish in this field. We must agree on this fundamental point: if we want to obstruct science and research in the field of cloning, there will always be chancers and unscrupulous individuals who are willing to exploit this area of knowledge."@en1
