Abstract
The failed effort to ban all forms of cloning in international law at the turn of the new millennium is an example of the new religious pluralism in world politics. The world’s largest religious community, the Roman Catholic Church, together with the United States and its Evangelical Protestant president, George W. Bush, were unable to muster majority support at the United Nations for a comprehensive cloning ban. The strong, state-centered cast of the UN prevented the emergence of a sustained debate at the international level. As long as the national frame of reference for religious-political controversy remains predominant, global regulation of revolutionary, bordercrossing life science technologies is unlikely to emerge.
