A bill that will allow scientists to clone human embryonic life then kill it in the name of science was signed by Iowa Gov. Chet Culver on Thursday, LifeNews.com reported.
The bill repeals a prior ban on such destructive research.
Culver said the repeal paves the way in the "search for lifesaving cures for diseases."
But pro-life experts point out that destructive embryonic stem-cell research has not produced even one beneficial outcome. Adult stem-cell research, on the other hand, has resulted in myriad treatments for disease.
