X-Message-Number: 18518 Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 17:42:00 -0500 From: Saul Kent <> Subject: Don't Let The Government Ban Therapeutic Cloning Therapeutic cloning research could lead to cures for heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other lethal conditions. It could also lead to therapies to reverse the infirmities and ravages of aging. The U.S. Senate is now debating The Human Cloning Prohibition Act (S.790), which has already passed the House. This bill could put scientists who conduct therapeutic cloning research in prison for 10 years. The Life Extension Foundation urges you to contact U.S. Senators to urge them to vote against this bill. Information about how to do so can be found on The Foundation's web site (www.lef.org). Also on the site is an interview with Mike West, Ph.D., the President and CEO of Advanced Cell Technology, and an article entitled "Don't Let The U.S. Government Ban Therapeutic Cloning".
