House Resolution No. 354.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to ban all human cloning.

Whereas, The advances of science have taken our society to a challenging frontier. The highly publicized cases of animals being cloned are harbingers of decisions our society will face when the technology reaches the point where human cloning is possible. The rapid pace of advancement leads many to believe human cloning will soon be possible; and

Whereas, Cloning is often mentioned in connection with research in a variety of areas. Those discussing the possibilities of human cloning do so without detailing the horrific aspects of this procedure, especially the number of failed cloning procedures for every cloning that succeeds. Most importantly, some advocates of cloning ignore the grave moral implications involved in this life and death issue; and

Whereas, There are profound problems with the concept of human cloning. The process itself often involves the discarding of living cells and the destruction of unsuccessful clones. It is most disturbing to think that a company could routinely kill cloned embryos after extracting certain desired cells. The concept of human cloning evokes images of human experimentation from the Nazi era. In addition to these moral issues, there are also many who worry that cloning may lead to serious genetic problems and ultimately threaten public health; and

Whereas, There is legislation currently pending in Congress that seeks to prohibit all human cloning. This bill, S. 1899, unlike others that provide certain exceptions allowing cloning for research purposes, recognizes the seriousness of the problems created by cloning and the moral implications. A true ban of all human cloning needs to be in place; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to ban all human cloning. We call on Congress to enact S. 1899 and reject other bills that purport to ban human cloning but provide for research using cloned cells; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Health Policy.

Reps. Hale, Wojno, Richner, Toy, Raczkowski, Vander Roest, Spade, Bogardus, Jacobs, Zelenko, Callahan, Murphy, Pappageorge, Gieleghem, Rich Brown, McConico, Phillips, Plakas, Adamini, Quarles, Basham, Faunce, Schauer, Lockwood, Richardville, Bernero, Clark, Minore, Hansen, Jamnick, Birkholz, Lemmons, Hardman, Lipsey, Clarke, Thomas, Koetje, DeWeese, Kowall and Daniels offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 355.

A resolution honoring Consulate Mariusz Adam Jakubowski, Esq., Head of the Commercial & Economic Development Department for the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland.

Whereas, It is with a strong sense of admiration for all of the sacrifices Consulate Mariusz Adam Jakubowski, Esq., has made on behalf of the people of the United States and Poland that we salute him for his dedication to public office effectiveness and efficiency. We would like to thank this conscientious individual for all his tireless work on the occasion of his visit; and

Whereas, In the years since Consulate Mariusz Adam Jakubowski, Esq., began his responsibilities as Head of Commercial & Economic Development in Chicago, the people of the United States have benefitted from his dedication. His belief in future developments have marked all elements of his work. At a time in our history in which officials face many challenges and changes, Consulate Mariusz Adam Jakubowski, Esq., has responded with energy and a heartfelt concern for the citizens, businesses, and institutions of the Republic of Poland and the United States; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Consulate Mariusz Adam Jakubowski, Esq., Head of the Commercial & Economic Development Department for the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland. May health and happiness be his in the future; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Consulate Mariusz Adam Jakubowski, Esq. as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
