Clone and kill bill II: President to veto
Re: Congresswoman Diana DeGette’s phony cloning ban, President Bush issued the following statement a few hours ago (underline his):
H.R. 2560 – Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2007
(Rep. DeGette (D) Colorado)
The President unequivocally opposes all forms of human cloning. The Administration is strongly opposed to any legislation that would prohibit human cloning for reproductive purposes but permit the creation of cloned embryos or development of human embryo farms for research, which would require the destruction of nascent human life. Thus, if legislation were presented to the President that permitted human embryos to be created, developed, and destroyed simply for research purposes, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.
About the statement, a DC source added, “It is noteworthy that the President is currently in Germany for the G8 Summit. G8 countries Germany, France, Canada and Italy have total cloning bans on the books.”
