Cloning and stem cells
Re “State Fights Federal Bill on Cloning,” Aug. 25
I applaud The Times for publishing an article that admits embryonic stem-cell research involves cloning human embryos. The article explained that advocates of stem cell research purposely avoid the label of cloning and use the technical term “somatic cell nuclear transfer.”
California voters were intentionally misled by advocates for Proposition 71 on this fact.
The state must now face the possibility of a federal ban on all forms of human cloning -- including embryonic stem cell research.
There is a reason it is illegal in Canada, Germany and France.
