It is my understanding that the ban would be for cloning whole humans, not for theraputic cloning. At least that is what the newspaper clipping my wife give to me claimed. I do agree with Rudi's comment that it is disturbing that the religious sheep have so much influnce over what happens to the rest of us. Not to worry however because there are three reasons why cloning, life extention, nanotech, and genetic engineering will prevail over the religious sheep. 1. History has proven time and time again that progress will happen no matter what. Nothing, including religion has stopped it. 2. We live in a mostly capitalist world. Capitalism is a competition to get to the top. And with globalization America is the team to beat. If America bans cloning you can bet some other nation will begin research in an attempt to position itself within the global economy. This is will be true with all controversial tech. And you can also bet that these nations will be looking to hire American scientists. When break throughs happen from this research and the rest of the world sees the benefits, no explanation needed here. 3. Politicians are dirty rotten scoundrels. They are aware of the possible benefits of some of this research. You can bet that eventhough they have a ban or whatever, they will have some top secret pet project. I do suggest contacting your senators and letting them know that you are against the clone ban. However if it does pass do not worry because progress will prevail, history proves this.
