Political Quotes

“I want to quickly make observations about two contradictions that I think my friend from Florida made. Number one, he said that our substitute cannot be enforced. That does not make any sense. If we can enforce the Weldon law, we can enforce the Greenwood law, and if people are going to make clones in violation of the law, they are going to do it under the Weldon law or the Greenwood law. So that is an argument we should discount immediately. The second contradiction, which I think is more severe, is that I heard the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Weldon) talk about we are going to have shelves of embryos, we are going to have embryo farms; we are going to create all of these embryos. He just told us how extraordinarily difficult it is to get one ovum. We have to superovulate a woman. It is very difficult. It is painful. Women are not going to line up to have this procedure. So there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that we are going to have this huge multitude of eggs. We are going to be lucky to have enough to do the research.”
