Actions Requested.(Brief Article)
- Please write to your U.S. House member. Urge him or her to support extension of the 1995 ban on federal funding of any research in which human embryos are harmed (the "Dickey Amendment"). Also, encourage your representative to support The Responsible Stem Cell Research Act (H.R. 2096), which would expand federal funding of research on stem cells obtained from adults and from umbilical cords - - without harming human embryos.
The address for all members of the House of Representatives is:
The Honorable _______________
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
- Write to your two U.S. senators. Urge them to support Senator Brownback's bill, S. 790, to ban all human cloning, and 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 medical research ("clone-and-kill").
Also urge the lawmakers to oppose Senator Specter's bill, S. 723, which would authorize federal funding of research in which human embryos would be killed in order to obtain their stem cells. Tell them that you support the current law that bans federal funding of research in which human embryos are harmed (the Dickey Amendment).
