Legislators Offer Bills To Ban Human Cloning
Summary: Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL) and Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) have offered bills that are designed to ban all forms of human cloning. These bills deserve our support.
Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL), who is also a medical doctor, has just offered H.R. 234, the “Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003.” Weldon is deeply concerned about the ethical and medical dangers of permitting human cloning to become normalized in our culture.
Weldon’s web site features a helpful Q&A on cloning and other essays that explain why cloning of any kind should be banned. He notes: “Research cloning will pave the way for reproductive cloning. Any attempt at human cloning, for whatever purpose, is utterly irresponsible. Human cloning is baby manufacture, and the American people oppose it.”
Weldon’s cloning information is available here: U.S. Representative Dave Weldon, FL, 15th District.
On January 29, 2003, Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) also introduced the “Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003.” His bill has not yet been assigned a number. To learn more about Brownback’s legislation, go to: United States Senator Sam Brownback, Kansas
TVC has also published a fact sheet on cloning.
We also have provided several links to anti-cloning groups: Resources on Cloning · Americans To Ban Cloning · The Center For Bioethics And Human Dignity · Christian Medical And Dental Associations · Council For Biotechnology Policy · National Right To Life · Probe Ministries · Science Ministries Incorporated · United States Conference Of Catholic Bishops
Contact Your Elected Officials and ask that they support both bills to ban all human cloning:
In a related story, a judge in Florida has thrown out a lawsuit asking for a guardian to be appointed for the baby girl that the Raelian UFO cult claims is the first cloned infant to be born. For details, go here: Sun-Sentinel: News Local
