H.R. 916—Human Cloning Research Prohibition Act

On February 25, 2003, Representative Cliff Stearns (R-FL) introduced H.R. 916, the Human Cloning Research Prohibition Act. The intent of the bill is to prohibit the expenditure of Federal funds to conduct or support research on human cloning. The bill would require the Director of the National Science Foundation to contract with the National Research Council for a review of the implementation of the Act. H.R. 916 would also express the sense of Congress that other countries should establish similar provisions. The bill was referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and on Science.
