Pro-Clones, Pro-Hype
The Hines/LaFleur Clone and Kill Bills
(S.B. 306, H.B. 736)
|
 |
| Simply prohibits all human cloning. Period. |
Permits cloning of human beings at the embryonic stage of life, and requires that the cloned human embryos be destroyed in science experiments.
|
|
|
Modeled on bi-partisan Landrieu/Brownback Federal Human Cloning Ban - backed by President Bush |
Modeled on clone and kill California laws, and the CA Commission that is now in court due to Conflict of Interest problems with university members with financial interests in human cloning research.

REAL HOPE
Focuses funding to effective adult stem cell research, including research using bone marrow to treat heart disease, fat stem cells to treat skull fractures, nasal stem cells to help paraplegics walk, adult stem cells which have helped patients with juvenile diabetes, and cord blood which has cured sickle-cell anemia. | FALSE HYPE
Cloning for destructive human embryo research has not produced a single treatment despite a nearly a decade of intense funding and research. Zero.
|
|
|
Prohibits cloned human embryos from being mass produced like commodities, thus also preventing the birth of cloned human infants. |
Cornell is developing an artificial womb. The Hines/LaFleur bill would permit the clone to be grown to the fetal stage as long as the cloned fetus were destroyed before birth for research purposes.
|
|
Respects women's bodies.
Protects children from being created without parents.
Respects the inherent dignity of every human life. |
Exploits women's health by paying them to take super-ovulating drugs to obtain eggs for cloning.
Creates human lives with no parents.
Turns "Human Procreation" into "Human Production."
