Did Obama Open the Door to Human Cloning With His Stem Cell Order?

March 25, 2009

In lifting restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research this month, did President Obama
leave the door open to human cloning? To hear Obama say it, the answer is unequivocally no. “We will ensure that our government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction,” he said in a speech before signing the executive order that reversed George W. Bush’s limits on embryonic stem cell research. “It is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society, or any society.” (US News and World Report)
