U.S. SEN. JIM TALENT:
THAT WAS ANOTHER MISSTATEMENT OF MY RECORD. I'VE SPONSORED LEGISLATION TO PROHIBIT CLONING. LOOK, ON THE BALLOT ISSUE, THE BALLOT ISSUE WOULD CREATE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CLONE THE EARLIEST STAGES OF HUMAN LIFE. IT WOULD FIX IT IN THE CONSTITUTION. I'M NOT FOR THAT. I'M OPPOSED TO HUMAN CLONING. I'VE TOLD PEOPLE I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE I'M WALKING DOWN THE STREET IN ONE DIRECTION AND I SEE MYSELF COMING IN THE OTHER. THERE'S BEEN A PROBLEM. I'M FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH. I'VE SPONSORED AND SUPPORTED $2 BILLION IN SUPPORT FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL. THERE'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE UNTIL RECENTLY SCIENCE BELIEVED THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD GET A PARTICULAR KIND OF STEM CELL THEY NEEDED WAS TO CLONE A HUMAN EMBRYO. THE GOOD NEWS IS ALTERNATIVES ARE BEING WORKED ON, GOING TO BE AVAILABLE SOON AND THEY'RE BEING WORKED ON THE AT M.I.T. IN HARVARD WITHOUT HAVING TO DESTROY THE EMBRYO.
