OTTAWA, March 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Members of the House of Commons voted yesterday on several key amendments aimed at improving the Assisted Human Reproduction Act Bill C-13. MPs voted by a narrow majority to support Motion 13 by Liberal MP Paul Szabo which banned human cloning by "any technique". However, Canadian Alliance MP Jason Kenney's Motion 17 to ban destructive research on human embryos was defeated as was a motion by Alliance MP Maurice Vellacott which aimed to limit in vitro fertilization treatments to heterosexual couples.
