VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 2

October 29, 2006

Line 11 of Amendment 2 states that "No person may clone or attempt to clone a human being." But if you look at line 109 you will see that it says to "Clone or attempt to clone a human being, to implant in a uterus or to attempt to implant in a uterus anything other than the product of fertilization of an egg of a human female by a sperm of a human male for the purpose of initiating a pregnancy that could result in the creation of a human fetus, or birth of a human being." In other words in Amendment 2 you ban human cloning defined as implanting anything into a uterus to produce a human fetus or the birth of a human being. You DO NOT ban cloning that doesn't implant anything into a woman.

In essense they are saying that as long as they don't implant the fetus into a woman or carry it to full term it isn't really cloning. I guess that means that if I make a bowl of macaroni and cheese and do not put it in my stomach it can't really be called food.

Just because you clone a human in a dish and not in a womb doesn't make the fetus any less human and it doesn't mean that you are not cloning. Lets not distort reality to make ourselves feel better. Don't be fooled! Vote no on Amendment 2.

It passed because people are easily tricked duped into believing just about anything. People just don't use their heads anymore, they believe just about anything and they just speak words and don't even know what their talking about. For instance, I'm not Catholic. I've never been Catholic. Yet you make an incorrect assumption that if anyone is against Amendment 2 that they must be Catholic.
