finally we have a reasonable approach to prohibiting human cloning without prohibiting the ability to conduct valuable medical research. Although H.R. 2505 bans reproductive cloning, it goes too far by banning necessary therapeutic…

I, like the gentleman from Massachusetts, want to say right off the bat that none of us believe in cloning of human beings. Nobody on either side. We get this values argument. None of us believe in that. So stop that. The second thing is…
