FITZPATRICK, TAGUE -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. MANKTELOW -- read once and referred to the Committee on Health AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to creating the human cloning prohibition act THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "human cloning prohibition act". § 2. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that: At least one company has announced that it has successfully cloned a human being at the early embryonic stage of life, and others have announced that they will attempt to clone a human being using the tech- nique known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. Efforts to create human beings by cloning mark a new and decisive step toward turning human reproduction into a manufacturing process in which human beings are made in laboratories to preordained specifications and, potentially, in multiple copies. Creating cloned live-born human children, so-called "reproductive cloning," begins by creating cloned human beings at the embryonic stage of life, a process which some also propose as a way of creating human embryos for destructive research as sources of stem cells and tissues for possible treatment of other humans, so-called "therapeu- tic cloning". Many scientists agree that attempts at "reproductive clon- ing" pose a massive risk of either producing children who are stillborn, unhealthy, or severely disabled, and that attempting "therapeutic clon- ing" always results in the destruction of human beings at the embryonic stage of life when their stem cells are harvested. Creating new human life solely to be exploited via "reproductive cloning" or destroyed via "therapeutic cloning" in these ways has been condemned on moral grounds by many as displaying a profound disrespect for life. The distinction between "therapeutic" and "reproductive" cloning is a false distinction scientifically because both begin with the creation of EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
