[Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: George W. Bush (2001, Book II)] [July 31, 2001] [Page 933] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office www.gpo.gov]Statement on House of Representatives Action To Prohibit Human Cloning July 31, 2001 The moral issues posed by human cloning are profound and have implications for today and for future generations. Today's overwhelming and bipartisan House action to prohibit human cloning is a strong ethical statement, which I commend. We must advance the promise and cause of science but must do so in a way that honors and respects life.
