|Foundational values=The Prohibition on Human Cloning Research states that "it is the indelegable function of the government to defend the human dignity of all human beings, preserve their health and protect their quality of life. In addition, the government recognizes that scientific advances in cloning technology create ethical problems that opposes their own cultural values making it necessary to regulate all cloning experiments in relation to human beings."
