                           BAN HUMAN CLONING

  (Mrs. MYRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge the other body to act 
immediately to ban human cloning. The news over the weekend that a firm 
in Massachusetts had successfully cloned a human embryo makes it 
vitally important that that happen now.
  Scientists are creating human life for the sole purpose of destroying 
it. And this is not the plot of a bad science fiction movie, this is 
very real. Cloning is very real and it is happening in America right 
now. We must put a stop to this horrific practice.
