53 Hastings L.J. [xxxi] (2001-2002)
Conceiving a Code for Creation: The Legal Debate Surrounding Human Cloning

handle is hein.journals/hastlj53 and id is 31 raw text is: Symposium Conceiving a Code for Creation: The Legal Debate Surrounding Human Cloning by NICOLE M. NEMIROFSKY and JOHN D. MINTON SENIOR SYMPOSIUM EDITORS On January 26,2002 the Hastings Law Journal held a symposium addressing the legal debate surrounding cloning in an era when human cloning is on the brink of possibility. Human cloning, once far off fantasy, may rapidly become reality as proponents claim to possess the will and ability to clone a human being. This development not only presents complex legal and philosophical questions, but has also prompted a flurry of legislative action at both the state and federal levels. Last year, the House of Representatives made headlines by passing a dramatic ban on all forms of human cloning. Several states have also entered the fray; in California, the current moratorium on human cloning is nearing expiration and the legislature will soon decide whether to continue or alter the prohibition. This issue of the Hastings Law Journal contains articles and a transcript from the two symposium panels. We would like to thank Hastings Professor Radhika Rao for her assistance in organizing the event. We are also very thankful for all of the support we received from local law firms and businesses, Hastings faculty and staff, Hastings Law Journal members, particularly Jeanne McKinney, and the staff of the O'Brien Center for Scholarly Publications.
