Lamberth ruled that President Obama’s ESCR policy violates the “Dickey-Wicker Amendment,†a federal law barring federal funding of “the creation of a human embryo . . . for research purposes†and “research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed.†In response, a group of lawmakers introduced legislation that would authorize federal funding for human cloning.
