Hang on:
The amendment says, in part: “None of the funds made available in this Act may be used for—(1) the creation of a human embryo or embryos for research purposes; or (2) research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death.”
I think it just prevents use of the money from this appropriation bill. Not necessarily from another bill.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
So does this mean that you can use federal funds to experiment with live embryos and pluck cells from them as long as you don't intend to kill the them? And if the embryos die as a result of all that plucking, why, you didn't mean it, so it doesn't count? Yikes!!!
