Actions Requested.(stem cell and cloning research)(Brief Article)
As discussed in the page one article in this issue, the Senate is being urged to act soon on a bill to ban all human cloning, which has already been passed by the House of Representatives.
- Write to your two U.S. senators. Urge them to support the Weldon-Stupak Human Cloning Prohibition Act (H.R. 2505), passed by the House July 31, and to cosponsor Senator Brownback's very similar bill, S. 790. Urge them to oppose any substitute measure that would allow "therapeutic cloning," because this term really means that human embryos would be created in large numbers simply to be killed in research ("clone and kill").
Also, urge the lawmakers to oppose Senator Specter's S. 723, which would authorize federal funding of research in which human embryos would be killed in order to obtain their stem cells.
The address for all U.S. Senators is:
Senator ____________
U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
