associated with such donation.
''(b) Applicability of Federal Ethical Standards to Nuclear
Transplantation Research.--Research involving nuclear transplantation
shall be conducted in accordance with subpart A of part 46 of title 45,
or parts 50 and 56 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (as in
effect on the date of the enactment of the Human Cloning Ban and Stem
Cell Research Protection Act of 2005), as applicable.
''(c) Prohibition on Conducting Nuclear Transplantation on
Fertilized Eggs.--A somatic cell nucleus shall not be transplanted into
a human oocyte that has undergone or will undergo fertilization.
''(d) Fourteen-Day Rule.--An unfertilized blastocyst shall not be
maintained more than 14 days from its first cell division, not counting
any time during which it is stored at temperatures less than zero
degrees centigrade.
''(e) Voluntary Donation of Oocytes.--
''(1) Informed consent.--In accordance with subsection (b),
an oocyte may not be used in nuclear transplantation research
unless such oocyte shall have been donated voluntarily by and
with the informed consent of the woman donating the oocyte.
''(2) Prohibition on purchase or sale.--No human oocyte or
unfertilized blastocyst may be acquired, received, or otherwise
transferred for valuable consideration if the transfer affects
interstate commerce.
''(f) Separation of in Vitro Fertilization Laboratories From
Locations at Which Nuclear Transplantation Is Conducted.--Nuclear
transplantation may not be conducted in the same laboratory or other
physical facility in which human oocytes are subject to assisted
reproductive technology treatments or procedures.
''(g) Civil Penalties.--Whoever intentionally violates any
provision of subsections (b) through (f) shall be subject to a civil

Ex Output:
Human Cloning Ban and Stem Cell Research Protection Act of 2005 - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to prohibit: (1) conducting or attempting to conduct human cloning; (2) shipping the product of nuclear transplantation in interstate or foreign commerce for the purpose of human cloning in the United States or elsewhere; or (3) exporting to a foreign country an unfertilized blastocyst if such country does not prohibit human cloning. Sets forth criminal and civil penalties for violations.

Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to report to the relevant congressional committees on: (1) actions taken to enforce such prohibitions; (2) coordination of Federal, State, and local enforcement; and (3) international laws relating to human cloning. Amends the Public Health Service Act to require research involving nuclear transplantation to be conducted in accordance with applicable Federal regulations regarding the protection of human subjects and Institutional Review Boards. Prohibits: (1) a somatic cell nucleus from being transplanted into a human oocyte (egg) that has undergone or will undergo fertilization; (2) an unfertilized blastocyst from being maintained after more than 14 days from its first cell division, not counting storage times at temperatures less than zero degrees centigrade; (3) an oocyte from being used in nuclear transplantation research unless donated voluntarily with the donor's informed consent; (4) a human oocyte or unfertilized blastocyst from being acquired, received, or transferred for valuable consideration in interstate commerce; and (5) nuclear transplantation in a laboratory in which human oocytes are subject to assisted reproductive technology treatments or procedures. Sets forth civil penalties for violations.
