New Jersey appears ready to become the second state to allow stem cell research which many fear will lead to experimental human cloning. The NJ legislature passed a bill in mid-December paving the way for human stem cell research, and the gov’nor has promised to sign it soon. The Family Research Council has called it a "clone-to-kill" measure, arguing that "[t]he new law would authorize New Jersey’s large biotech industry to actually clone a human embryo, implant that embryo into a woman’s womb, develop the embryo to the fetal stage and then kill it for ’research purposes.’" This is not good news.
