And they accuse the opponents of Amendment 2 of confusing voters.
When Senator John Danforth began arguing for embryonic stem cell research he said that the debate was about a “tiny bundled of unfertilized cells existing in petri dishes” from therapeutic cloning, not fertilized human embryos. Then along came Amendment 2 which protects the right to destroy embryos from fertilization in the lab. Subsequently, Dr. William Neaves of the Stowers Institute has said repeatedly that the human blastocyst from in vitro fertilization is not an embryo and that SCNT is not cloning. Now, in telling us to vote for Amendment 2, the Post-Dispatch says the amendment protects the creation of cloned human embryos but outlaws the creation of human beings.
