“There are also brand new letters that I did not enter into the Record my last time on the floor speaking about this issue. They are from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, from the professor and chairman of the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine, the American Society for Cell Biology, which interestingly enough is signed by more Nobel laureates than I have ever seen signing one letter. And this is truly amazing. There are 27 Nobel laureates on this letter. What they say, in summing up, is: If legislation is deemed to be necessary, we respectfully urge you to be sure that it be limited to the cloning of human beings and not include language that impedes critical, ongoing, and potential new research. And I have letters from the American Society for Cell Biology, the American Society for Human Genetics, the National Association for Biomedical Research, a telegram from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.”
