| NARRATOR: A message from
Arkansas and National Right to Life. WOMAN: Honey, look at this
story! It looks like Senator Blanche Lincoln will probably vote to
allow human embryos to be cloned and then killed in experiments!
MAN: What?!
WOMAN: Remember, President Bush urged the Senate to pass the
Brownback bill to ban human cloning, before human "embryo farms" open
for business in this country? Some biotech corporations really want to
clone human embryos, grow them for a while, then kill them for their
parts! But Blanche Lincoln apparently thinks that's okay -- as long as
they fill out some paperwork, and make sure all the embryos die while
they are still small!
MAN: [skeptical] Let me see that. [sound of newspaper crinkling]
[dismayed] "Lincoln Sees Pluses of Cloning Embryos"? My word! But look
here -- at least our other senator, Tim Hutchinson, supports the
Brownback ban that President Bush wants. Hutchinson said that cloning
is "human beings trying to take the role of God."
WOMAN: Well, he's right! It's wrong to create human embryos and
then harvest them like crops!
NARRATOR: If you agree with President Bush and Senator Hutchinson
that the cloning of human embryos should be banned, then urge Senator
Lincoln to join them in support of the Brownback bill.
