“time is running out. With each passing day, scientists come closer and closer to cloning a human being. Step-by-step, they are completing a process whereby human life, the most sacred of gifts, is cheapened and devalued through mass production. Mr. Speaker, I applaud my colleagues in the House for their hard work earlier this year in passing the Human Cloning Prohibition Act. But now is not the time to rest. Now is the time to continue our work and urge our Senate colleagues to listen to the voice of the American people and to vote to ban human cloning. Mr. Speaker, I am proud of the Senate's compromise to bring this bill to the floor in a few months. Unfortunately, the time line for cloning science is set to outpace our own schedule. Therefore, I urge my Senate colleagues to act now to bring this bill to a vote and to outpace this unethical misuse of science that would demean nature's work and degrade human life.”
