In other words, the Obama administration already knows where it stands on all those pesky moral issues like human cloning, chimeras, and euthanasia, and just needs a group to provide advice on how to implement its preferred policies.

In 2008, MI voters voted in favor of Proposal 2, an amendment to the state constitution which legalized the killing of human embryos for research. Proposal 2’s proponents, who promised the research would be regulated, are already fuming about the legislation.
A third Wichita-based anti-abortion group, the Kansas Coalition for Life, also has received threats, said the group’s president, Mark Gietzen.
