I wrote an op ed piece that said, ``Let me make my position absolutely clear. I oppose the cloning of human beings. I favor Federal funding of stem cell research. The potential this research has to cure disease and alleviate human suffering leads me to believe this is a pro-life position.''

Does the gentleman's bill make it illegal to use those blastocysts for stem cell research?
