Sažetak
Th e author analyzes in his work the process of negotiating and beginning of the United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning as well as the paragraphs of the very Declaration. The negotiation was originally conceived as a clear bioethical debate that should have led to a general agreement to ban human cloning. However, more often it had been discussed about human rights, cultural, civil and religious differences between people and about priorities incase of eventual conflicts between diff erent value systems. In the end, a non-binding Declaration on Human Cloning had been adopted, full of numerous conpromises and ambiguous formulations, that relativized the original intention of proposer states. In author’s opinion it would have been better if bioethical discussion and eventual regulations on cloning mentioned in the following text had been left over to certain professional bodies, and only after the public had been fully informed about it should relevant supranational organizations have taken that into consideration.
