BODY: Talks
between Senate Democrats and Republicans on bringing to a vote a bill banning
all human cloning broke down, prompting the chief sponsor of
the measure to say he would try to attach it to unrelated legislation. The
Senate is divided over whether to adopt the ban, sponsored by Senator Sam
Brownback, Republican of Kansas, or an alternative measure, supported by the
Senate Democratic leadership. That measure would ban cloning for reproduction,
but permit scientists to conduct cloning experiments intended to produce cells
and tissues for medical research. Sheryl Gay Stolberg (NYT)
