I will point out what I am talking about in the amendments I was proposing. We had filed four of these amendments and were willing to put them into one amendment, have one vote, and have a moratorium for 1 year on several items. The moratorium would include human cloning. No human cloning, whether it be reproductive, or so-called their futuristic-type, for 1 year, a 1-year moratorium on germ line manipulation, where you insert a snippet of a genetic code from a cow or pig into the egg or sperm of a human, so that once they connect to each other they become fertilized. It goes on to future generations. It would ban that for a year's period of time. It would ban for a year's period of time, embryo 'farming' where embryos were created just for research purposes.
