OCA is pleased to announce SB 243 has been introduced-A Ban on Human Cloning and Animal-Human Hybrid

S.B. 243 Ohio’s Ban on Human Cloning and Animal-Human Hybrid

OCA President Chris Long made the following statement, “For the past seven years, OCA has been working tirelessly with members of the Ohio Legislature to ban embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and in recent years, animal-human hybrid.  Science has advanced to the point where DNA from animals and humans can be intermixed in scientific laboratory experimentation.  This is simply outrageous!

Animal-human hybrid research is currently being conducted in England, which many in the international medical community now consider to be a rogue medical state. It is unknown how many U.S. laboratories are currently conducting similar research. 

Our office has been working with State Senator Steve Buehrer and other members of the Ohio Senate for the past three years to introduce this legislation.  We commend the following State Senators for their co-sponsorship of this vital legislation:  Senators John Carey, Kevin Coughlin, Keith Faber, Bob Gibbs, Tim Grendell, Shannon Jones and Tim Schaffer." Read the Bill

OCA is leading in this legislative effort.  We appreciate the support of Ohio Right to Life, Cincinnati Right to Life, and other life societies across Ohio.
