On the recordFebruary 27, 2003
I am opposed to cloning of humans. I do not believe there is any justification in replication of a human being. However, I believe that we in Congress have a responsibility to carefully craft Federal legislation on cloning that will not outlaw legitimate medical research that may save or enhance the lives of many. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan has stated her support of therapeutic cloning because it offers the best hope for curing Alzheimer's. I am supporting the amendment. I urge my colleagues to do the same.
