(lifenews.com)
- The legislation, which bans reproductive cloning as well as embryonic stem cell research in which human life is destroyed, was amended in the House last week to outlaw the cloning process to create human embryos for research, but would allow importation of embryonic stem cell lines created outside the state for research. (lifenews.com)

- During debate on his bill, Beard stated that opponents of his bill place a 'false hope' in embryonic stem cell research. (lifenews.com)
- As of yet no useful embryonic stem cell lines have been created, and all breakthroughs in stem cell research have been done with adult stem cells, which do not require the destruction of human life. (lifenews.com)
- Beard's measure has the backing of a group of pro-life organizations, including the Catholic Church, which has lobbied hard in support of his bill, especially since it was "sabotaged" by the pro-embryonic research amendment. (lifenews.com)

- Comment: Indeed, if passed, "total cloning bans" H.R. 534, H.R. 234, H.R. 916, and S. 245 would not ban anything either - not even the SCNT cloning technique that was used to make Dolly the sheep. (lifeissues.net)
- Again, Saunders is referring to SCNT as "THE" cloning procedure, when there are many other ways to clone a human being as well, and he is scientifically mis-defining the product of SCNT (i.e., the cloned human embryo). (lifeissues.net)
Embryo research4
- On April 11, 2003, Washington Post Staff Writer, Rick Weiss, reported 'New research suggests that it may be a lot harder to clone people than to clone other animals, an unexpected scientific twist that could influence the escalating congressional debate over human cloning and embryo research.

Saunders2
- The human embryo did not begin until after 14-days, thus the above quote from Saunders would not apply. (lifeissues.net)
- a) It would seem that Saunders uses the "potential" argument here quite appropriately, but it is critical that the term be understood properly in order to deflect any misunderstandings or misinterpretations - especially if the term were to be used in any U. N. treaty on human cloning. (lifeissues.net)
Genetic2
- For example many clones die early or they are born with genetic deformities, and develop terminal illnesses such as cancer. (irfi.org)

Conception1
- Normally, the embryo comes into being through sexual conception, in which the female egg cell is fertilized by a male sperm cell. (actionlife.org)
Recent1
- I also write for the press on various topics relating to language and human nature my most recent articles have been on the psychology of kinship, the historical decline of violence, and the use of metaphor in politics. (cosmoetica.com)
Definition1

(cosmoetica.com)
Medical1
- They forbid procedures that substitute medical techniques for human intercourse. (americamagazine.org)
Scientific1
- But it is perhaps not auspicious to quote him for purposes of the scientific debates on human cloning, because Ramsey agreed with and supported the scientific myth of the "pre-embryo" 47 made famous by Jesuit Richard McCormick and frog embryologist Clifford Grobstein. (lifeissues.net)
Describe1
- In ancient history, humans used the term "chimera" to describe mythical creatures and hybrids. (frontiersin.org)
