63-28 (I) WTF Series: Cloning is Real - - PART 1

(Gated) H.R. 534, the ‘‘Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003,’’ amends title 18, United States Code, by establishing a comprehensive ban on human cloning and prohibiting the importation of a cloned embryo, or any product derived from such embryo. Any person or entity that is convicted of violating this prohibition on human cloning is subject to a fine or imprisonment of not more than 10 years, or both. In addition, H.R. 534 provides a civil penalty of not less than $1,000,000 for any person who receives a pecuniary gain from cloning humans. However, H.R. 534 does not prohibit the use of cloning technology to produce molecules, DNA, cells, tissues, organs, plants, or animals other than humans.
