Actions Requested.
* 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
* Please write to your U.S. House member. Urge him or her to oppose federal funding of any stem cell research which would require the destruction of human embryos. Encourage the representative to support the Responsible Stem Cell Research Act (H.R. 2096), sponsored by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), which would expand federal funding of research on stem cells obtained from adults and from umbilical cords--without harming human embryos.
