after decades of Christian education and religious study, there are two things that I know for sure: number one, there is a God; and number two, I am not Him. The entire debate over human cloning flies in the face of these two great truths. Many Americans learned, after this institution banned human cloning earlier this year, that we are truly close to this moral horror, a horror that uses bad science, science that went through 277 deeply mutilated animals before Dolly the sheep was conceived and birthed successfully. It is unthinkable that we would not act on this House's call to ban human cloning; that we would not respond to the President's thoughtful message to the world in August that we must think deeply, we must legislate thoughtfully along the fault lines of religion, morality, and technology. I urge our colleagues in the other body to move and to move now on banning human cloning in the United States of America.
