Instead of building only one building the state decided to keep all legislators happy and build five of them. This is the first one going up. If approved, the ballot question bond issue will appropriate only $10 million for the collection of umbilical cord stem cells. The rest of the research is barbaric and inhuman, read on about the embryonic stem cell research and cloning research.

The research to be performed by this Institute is unproven and unethical because it authorizes a cloning process, which creates a human embryo that is killed in order to harvest its stem cells. Under the law, the research is not limited to the "embryonic" state, but authorized “through the embryo, fetal and newborn stages.” The Democrat NJ Legislature passed this very-bad bill.

Worse than the bad federal laws being proposed, the New Jersey bill does not even prohibit the implantation of a cloned embryo. The New Jersey bill would allow for the development of a clone up to and past birth, so long as scientists do not plan on someone raising the child they've created. It's only okay to clone, in other words, so long as you plan to kill the clone, ultimately.

As used in this section, "cloning a human being," means the replication of a human individual by cultivating a cell with genetic material [the SCNT cloning process] through the egg, embryo, fetal and newborn stages into a new human individual.

Notice that the law only prohibits cloned babies from being born and becoming a "new human individual." Anything short of the newborn stage is thus permitted, meaning that biotechnologists are free to gestate cloned embryos and fetuses in real or artificial wombs for use in research--and even maintain them up to the very moment of birth.
