The Wisconsin Senate moved one step closer to banning cloning for reproductive and research purposes.
Senators on Tuesday night killed by one vote an amendment that would have exempted therapeutic cloning from the bill – amounting, in effect, to the body’s tentative approval of the cloning ban.
But Democrats objected to a final vote on the controversial measure, authored by Sen. Joe Leibham, R-Sheboygan, and Rep. Steve Kestell, R-Elkhart Lake, pushing the bill onto today’s Senate agenda.
