1 4 clause and inserting the following:
1 5 "Section 1. NEW SECTION. 707B.1 TITLE.
1 6 This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the
1 7 "Human Cloning and Stem Cell Research Act".
1 8 Sec. 2. NEW SECTION. 707B.2 PURPOSE.
1 9 It is the purpose of this chapter to prohibit human
1 10 reproductive cloning for any purpose.
1 11 Sec. 3. NEW SECTION. 707B.3 DEFINITIONS.
1 12 As used in this chapter, unless the context
1 13 otherwise requires:
1 14 1. "Human cloning" means human asexual
1 15 reproduction, accomplished by introducing the genetic
1 16 material of a human somatic cell into an oocyte whose
1 17 nucleus has been removed or inactivated, to produce a
1 18 living organism with a human or predominantly human
1 19 genetic constitution.
1 20 2. "Human somatic cell" means a diploid cell,
1 21 having a complete set of chromosomes, obtained or
1 22 derived from a living or deceased human body at any
1 23 stage of development.
1 24 3. "Nuclear transplantation" means introducing the
1 25 nuclear material of a human somatic cell into a
1 26 fertilized or unfertilized oocyte from which the
1 27 nucleus has been or will be removed or inactivated.
1 28 4. "Oocyte" means the unfertilized human ovum.
1 29 Sec. 4. NEW SECTION. 707B.4 HUMAN CLONING –
1 30 PROHIBITIONS – EXCEPTIONS – PENALTY.
1 31 1. A person shall not intentionally or knowingly
1 32 do any of the following:
1 33 a. Perform or attempt to perform human cloning.
1 34 b. Participate in performing or in an attempt to
1 35 perform human cloning.
1 36 c. Transfer or receive, in whole or in part, to
1 37 ship, receive, or import the product of nuclear
1 38 transplantation for the purpose of human cloning.
1 39 d. Perform research on any fertilized oocyte,
1 40 unless the fertilized oocyte was created for the
1 41 purpose of in vitro fertilization, in excess of the
1 42 clinical need, and subsequently donated for the
1 43 purpose of research.
1 44 2. This chapter shall not restrict areas of
1 45 scientific research not specifically prohibited,
1 46 including in vitro fertilization; the administration
1 47 of fertility-enhancing drugs; or be construed to
1 48 restrict areas of biomedical, agricultural, or
1 49 scientific research not specifically prohibited by
1 50 this chapter. This chapter shall not be interpreted
2 1 to prohibit the performance of human stem cell
2 2 research in this state which is allowed as specified
2 3 in subsection 1, paragraph "d".
2 4 3. Nuclear transplantation, including somatic cell
2 5 nuclear transfer, shall not be performed in this state
2 6 until on or after July 1, 2006.
2 7 4. a. A person who violates subsection 1,
2 8 paragraph "a" or "b", is guilty of a class "C" felony.

2 21 any other form of permission required to practice or
2 22 engage in any trade, occupation, or profession
2 23 regulated by the state.
2 24 Sec 5. NEW SECTION. 707B.5 DONATION AND INFORMED
2 25 CONSENT FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH.
2 26 Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to
2 27 the contrary, human embryos created only for the
2 28 purpose of in vitro fertilization, in excess of the
2 29 clinical need, may be donated for the purpose of stem
2 30 cell research and treatment and those human embryos
2 31 donated may be used for research and treatment, if the
2 32 donation meets all of the following requirements:
2 33 1. The donation is voluntary.
2 34 2. No inducement, monetary or of any other nature,
2 35 is offered in exchange for the donation.
2 36 3. Informed consent for the donation is obtained
2 37 from the individuals participating in the in vitro
2 38 fertilization treatments.
2 39 4. The individuals participating in the in vitro
2 40 fertilization treatments are informed that the human
2 41 embryos may be placed for adoption."
2 42 #2. Title page, lines 1 and 2, by striking the
2 43 words "the use or destruction of the materials of
2 44 human reproduction" and inserting the following:
2 45 "human cloning and stem cell research".
