Missouri’s Amendment 2
24 October 2006Missouri’s proposed Amendment 2 is, perhaps, the most misunderstood and the most lied about amendment in history. Supporters have spent $28 million dollars trying to convince the voters of Missouri that the amendment permanently outlaws human cloning. In fact, the amendment makes human cloning a right. The way the supports mislead on this is by redefining terms. They claim it isn’t cloning unless the intended result is a human baby. So cloning for therapeutic purposes isn’t really cloning in their world. Everyone else on the plant agrees that when a human embryo has been created, cloning has taken place. The entire moral debate centers on the notion of cloning human embryos in order to destroy them.
Now a new ad in opposition to Amendment 2 has hit the airwaves. The ad features such names as Patricia Heaton, Jim Caviezel and Kurt Warner laying out the problems with the amendment. And the ad has found its way to YouTube so the world can watch it.

As a St Louis, Missouri pastor, I believe that life begins at conception, whether through fertilization or SCNT (cloning). The Bible’s teaching on the importance of human life argues against either the formation of human embryos via SCNT or their destruction to harvest embyronic stem cells. Thanks for getting out the word about how deceptive Amendment 2 is.
