Show Your Support by Attending the Press Conference

Wednesday, February 5th, Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Arlen Specter (R-PA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), and Tom Harkin (D-IA) will be introducing the Human Cloning Ban and Stem Cell Research Protection Act of 2003.

The bill would criminalize reproductive cloning; a technique we all agree is unsafe and unethical. Given the scientific potential of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT, also known as therapeutic cloning) and regenerative medicine, however, we strongly support the bill's effort to allow for therapeutic cloning, which has the potential to treat life-threatening diseases, including spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The bill ensures rigorous oversight of the research conducted, including review by an ethics board and protections for research participants, and imposes large financial penalties for violations.

We Need To Show Our Support For The Research

If you are unable to attend the press conference, please take a minute to contact your Senators and ask them to co-sponsor the Human Cloning Ban and Stem Cell Research Protection Act of 2003. Go to www.camradvocacy.org, and follow the steps to Contact Congress.

Make your support of SCNT known!!!!!

All interested individuals are invited to attend. We are specifically attempting to get people from VA, MD, PA, NY DE, NJ, and DC to make the trip.

Marmalady, maybe you can get a car pool going from NJ?
