WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2001 Stepping into an area of emerging science, the House on Tuesday passed a bill that would ban the creation of cloned human embryos. The vote on the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2001 occurred after six hours of debate. It comes as President Bush considers whether to ban the use of federal funds for stem cell research. Since stem cells are taken from infant embryos, critics believe their use is ethically and morally wrong. But some scientists believe stem cells can help treat diseases. A more limited version of the bill which would have allowed private companies to created cloned embryos and use stem cells was rejected. Get the Bill:
To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit human cloning. (H.R.2505) Get the Story:
