On the recordFebruary 10, 1998

We oppose the cloning of a human being. We see no ethical or medical justification for the cloning of a human being and agree with the conclusions of the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) that it is unacceptable at this time for anyone in the public or private sector, whether in a research or clinical setting, to create a human child using somatic cell nuclear transfer technology. We recognize that this application of the technology raises fundamental ethical and social issues. This technology is not currently safe to use in humans.
