HUMAN EMBRYO CLONING -- HON. RONNIE SHOWS (Extensions of Remarks - November
28, 2001)
[Page: E2157] GPO's PDF

HON. RONNIE SHOWS
OF MISSISSIPPI
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, November 28, 2001
- Mr. SHOWS. Mr. Speaker, the cloning of a human embryo goes far beyond the fact
that it is bad public policy. We are not a society, I say we are not a
creation of God, that would make a life in order to kill it. This is what is
happening and this is what we must stop now. The farming of human embryos, human lives, for use as laboratory
test rats is a frightening and destructive direction this nation, this
society, would take.
- The single responsible measure we can take is to stop human cloning now before a slow numbing
acceptance takes place.
- Douglas Johnson at National Right to Life said, ``Each of us began our
individual life as an embryo. We were human when we were embryos, and these
cloned embryos are human lives
too. Once begun, human
lives--including human lives
begun by cloning --should be
protected, not killed to provide biological raw material.'' He is right.
- We must expand on the Human
Cloning Prohibition Act, H.R.
2505, passed in July and make human embryo cloning completely illegal.
