Hi Marjorie and All, I'm home from work and reading this again, it appears Senator Brownback is not the *ogre* I feared. Amendment S.AMDT.4140 is an entirely new piece designed to clarify and ensure that this research does not include cloning humans or animals or genetic mutations of both. I can't see any problem with that. This is simply part of the necessary process... applying checks and balances... exercising freedom of speech... applying accountability... Amendments S.AMDT.4141 through S.AMDT.4153 simply remove the line 4, one word at a time. "This Act may be cited as the `Stem Cell Research Act of 2000'." Who cares what they call it? Does this mean that if a vote were called and Brownbacks amendments were included, that he would then be in favor? I think so. Now we just have to remind ALL the representitives that there is only a few weeks left to read it into the record, vote, etc. Stay on the phone lines... Don't relax yet... Remember "It ain't over 'till it's over" Regards .... murray [log in to unmask]
