Lawsuit seeks to stop Missouri ballot initiative

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Opponents of embryonic stem cell research are suing Missouri's secretary of state to try to block an initiative protecting stem cell research from appearing on the 2006 ballot.

The lawsuit alleges the title of the proposed constitutional amendment is "unfair and deceptive" by claiming to "ban human cloning or attempted human cloning" when actually allowing a contentious cloning procedure.

"Established science holds that the initial product of the cloning procedure known as somatic cell nuclear transfer is a living human being at the embryonic stage of life, a cloned human embryo," the lawsuit alleges, while seeking an injunction against placing the measure on the ballot.

Good news, indeed...Please , pray for a successful outcome of this lawsuit.
