My mother was telling me that their is some bill to be voted on in Missouri that will enable them to make some house of horrors holding cloned humans to use for harvesting organs.
Not true.
Here is the text of the proposal in Missouri.
___________________________________
Plain Language Explanation:
This amendment will allow Missouri patients and researchers access to any method of stem cell research, therapies and cures permitted under federal law. It also will set limits on any stem cell research, therapies and cures, including banning human cloning or attempted cloning. Violators will be subject to criminal and civil penalites.
Official Ballot Title:
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to allow and set limitations on stem cell research, therapies, and cures which will:
Ensure Missouri patients have access to any therapies and cures, and allow Missouri researchers to conduct any research, permitted under federal law;
Ban human cloning or attempted cloning; (emphasis by me)
Require expert medical and public oversight and annual reports on the nature and purpose of stem cell research;
Impose criminal and civil penalties for any violations; and
Prohibit state or local governments from preventing or discouraging lawful stem cell research, therapies and cures?
