When the ballot question for Missouri says one thing then explicitly makes provision for “somatic cell nuclear transfer” to be protected by the state constitution. What the proponents of the amendment hope is that you don’t realize that this the definition of cloning. Check out all the facts at Missourians Against Human Cloning. Big biotech businesses will be pushing for this in all states, including state-funding of the cloning research. They’ve already suckered them into providing billions for embryonic stem-cell research by warming that everybody else is doing it and if we don’t do it, we’re going to lose jobs and profits. Well, they’re going to lose profits.
