research and cloning.

A Quote From:

Kathryn Hinsch,

Founding Director, WBP

“A key part of the Women’s Bioethics Project’s mission is to help people understand the implications of emerging technologies. To some, cloning might seem like science fiction. But, in fact, last year, more than 500 bills were introduced at the state level that related to cloning or stem cell research. Since there is currently no federal law banning human cloning, we expect it will be a hot topic in 2006. Just this past year, California, Connecticut, and Massachusetts each passed legislation banning human cloning, but permitting the technique for research purposes. It is something voters need to know about now."
