The Importance of Keeping Records in Compliance with the Human Cloning Act
The university must continue to keep track of its cloning operations because it has been accused of breaking the Human Cloning Act. It complies with Section 300 of the Human Cloning Act, which mandates that organizations involved in human cloning maintain records on each cloning for a time span of no longer than three years, in accordance with the BORS-prescribed format and content. Keeping these records also shows that the university has always engaged in legal behavior; however, the lack of records suggests that the institution has not, at least to some degree, been abiding by the law; it might have tampered with the evidence. Therefore, keeping.
The Role of Records in Inspections and Legal Proceedings
These records will help a lot consider the fact that the BORS will come to inspect the institution in line with the Section 404 of the Human Cloning Act. After the inspection, the BORS has the authority to issue subpoenas for the appearance and testimony of litigants and for the production of documented proofs connecting to the carrying out of its responsibilities under this Act. In this scenario, the university will have the opportunity to table their records, which might contradict the witnesses. Moreover, before, the BORS passes judgment and impose fines; it is expected to adjudicate on the records provided according to the Section 500. In a long run, despite the fact that the university has been reported for violating the laws, its records might be the only thing that saves the institution in case it contradicts the complainants (Harris). For instance, the university can deny the evidence by the litigants and instead provide its records, which it has already submitted to the board before.
