Senator John Danforth, Clones and Embryos: Amendment 2

Several years ago when Senator John Danforth began arguing for the right to clone and kill human embyros, media reports stated that he alleged that cloned embryos were not human. He described cloned embryos as "tiny bundles of unfertilized cells existing in petri dishes."

Sadly, when Missouri's proposed Amendment 2 came out, we saw that the language allows for destroying cloned human embryos and embryos which are the product of fertilization, embryos from in vitro fertilization.


No one has ever asked the former senator about this.
