State of the Union Address:
President Bush urges protection
of human embryos and a ban on all human cloning

During his January 31, 2006 State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress, President Bush said:

A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the matchless value of every life. Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research -- human cloning in all its forms, creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos. Human life is a gift from our Creator -- and that gift should never be discarded, devalued, or put up for sale. To return to the NRLC home page, click here.
