"Petition: Therapeutic cloning should NOT be banned"

Remember, we're no longer just talking about restricting the use of federal 
funds for cloning. At issue is a flat ban, with criminal penalties up to 10 
years in prison. The Brownback bill says: "It shall be unlawful for any 
person or entity... to perform or attempt to perform human cloning or to 
participate in an attempt to perform human cloning"
