Missouri: The Clone Me State
Post-Election Update: $30 Million Spin Campaign Narrowly Passes Amendment 2. Missourians Against Human Cloning and millions of citizens vow to continue fighting to repeal this human rights violation.

Scientists are supposed to be objective. So why is Big Biotech using high priced lawyers to draft and promote Missouri Amendment 2 which contains the blatant deception in the voting booth that it "bans human cloning"? Follow the money. . . - Amendment 2 creates a constitutional right to clone human embryos to be used as a cash crop for science experiments.
To hide the truth, the 5 page Amendment refers only to "stem cell research" and “somatic cell nuclear transfer,” the scientific definition for cloning; the same method used to clone Dolly the sheep."
- It allows cash-strapped college students to be paid thousands of dollars to be used as egg farms - at the risk of their life and their future fertility.
This tricky amendment says on page 2 that women cannot be paid "valuable consideration" for their eggs - then it guts the definition of "valuable consideration" on page 5 such that women CAN be paid!
- It writes a blank check for the Biotech Industry to pick the pockets of Missouri taxpayers for their unethical and unproven cloning experiments - without telling voters about about this money grab in the 100-word ballot summary.
Here's the Blank Check hiding in Section 5 of the 2000 words that would be added by Amendment 2:
". . .no state or local governmental body or official shall eliminate, reduce, deny, or withhold any public funds provided or eligible to be provided . . . to a person that (i) lawfully conducts stem cell research. . . ."
