Here's the video of a previous ad the group ran in Feb-March: http://www.kaisernetwork.org/adwatch/adwatch_index.cfm?display=detail&aw=306 Their press release about the latest ad (text below): http://cloninginformation.org/prps/shc-02-04-28.htm A pro-therapeutic cloning petition: http://www.franklinsociety.org And rebuttal (technically, a prebuttal), courtesy of Glenn Reynolds: http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/envirowrapper.jsp?PID=1051-450&CID=1051-041902A -Declan --- http://cloninginformation.org/audio/shc_commercial_script.htm AUDIO Script of the Harriet and Louis radio commercial produced by Stop Human Cloning. Harriet and Louis Set the Record Straight on Human Cloning Stop Human Cloning's 60-second radio ad HARRIET: Louis, did you see that ad on tv about cloning? LOUIS: The one with the couple who look just like us. HARRIET: Spooky, huh? LOUIS: You don't suppose they're really clones, do you? HARRIET: Who knows? It seems like some biotech companies will do just about anything to make a buck. Did you know they want to get patents on human clones, just like they do on lab animals? LOUIS: But their ad says they're only using a human egg and a skin cell. HARRIET: Well that's how you make a clone! LOUIS: But they also say cloning is needed to cure terrible diseases. HARRIET: Look, if they were really interested in cures, they'd be talking about adult stem cell research, which shows far more promise -- not creating embryos to destroy them for medical experiments. LOUIS: What can we do to stop them? HARRIET: Well, there is a Senate bill that bans all human cloning. LOUIS: But not lifesaving research? HARRIET: Of course not. It's the bill President Bush supports. We need to call Senator [Tim Johnson] at 202-224-3121 and ask him to vote for the Brownback/Landrieu bill. [Doorbell rings] LOUIS: Harriet, your sister is here. HARRIET: Sister? I don't have a sister.
