To amend title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit human cloning.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 26, 2001
Mr. EHLERS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit
human cloning.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Human Cloning Prohi-
bition Act of 2001’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Genetic science, including cloning tech-
nology and stem cell research, holds great promise
for medical breakthroughs, including cures and
treatments for diseases.
(2) Scientists should be encouraged to use
cloning technologies with plants and animals in
order to discover agricultural benefits for mankind.
(3) Scientists should continue to pursue re-
search that uses cloning technologies to clone tis-
sues, molecules, cells, and DNA.
(4) However, while the possibilities of scientific
experimentation normally are beneficial and limit-
less, there are times when society—through the gov-
ernmental process—can and should place limits on
scientific experimentation. Such is the case with
human cloning.
(5) Human cloning raises serious moral, ethical,
societal, and safety concerns that necessitate a legis-
lative ban.
SEC. 3. HUMAN CLONING PROHIBITED.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 89 of title 18, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing new section:

state or foreign commerce, knowingly replaces the nucleus
of an oocyte with the nucleus of a human somatic cell shall
be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2
years, or both.
‘‘(b) EXCEPTION.—Subsection (a) shall not apply if,
prior to replacement of the nucleus of the oocyte, the nu-
cleus of the human somatic cell has been modified so that
the cell cannot develop to completion.
‘‘(c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section—
‘‘(1) the term ‘somatic cell’ means any cell
other than a sperm or oocyte; and
‘‘(2) the term ‘oocyte’ means an egg cell.’’.
(b) CLERICAL AMENDMENT.—The table of sections
at the beginning of chapter 89 of title 18, United States
