MEXICO CITY, January 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Health Committee of the Mexican Congress' lower house has promised legislation banning all forms of human cloning.
Committee chairwoman Maria Eugenia Galvan, of the ruling conservative National Action Party (PAN) said that “human cloning will be banned in both its reproductive and therapeutic forms, namely, for use in tissue repair, as the technique can be carried out satisfactorily without using embryos, but using umbilical cord or bone marrow stem cells.”
Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) lawmaker Nemesio Esquiliano Solis added that it was a matter of “preventing Mexico from opening the door to therapeutic or assisted reproduction.”
