This measure would amend the State Constitution to ban “destructive research” on a human embryo and the sale or transfer of a human embryo or other specified human cells with the knowledge that the material would be used in such research. The measure would also amend the State Constitution and state law to define “destructive research” to be “medical procedures, scientific or laboratory research, or other kinds of investigation that kill or injure the subject of such research.” The measure would exempt from the definition of destructive research in vitro fertilization procedures and diagnostic procedures that may benefit the embryo.
