The statute also sets a 14- day limit on ex utero development, which could limit therapeutic as well as reproductive research.

The bill's definition of cloning follows the language of the California and Louisiana statutes, so that it prohibits implanting the product of SNT "to initiate a pregnancy that could result in the birth of a human ; The senate bill also criminalizes this cloning activity, making it a Class 4 felony. It also provides that any sperm bank, surgical treatment center or hospital that violates the act shall have its license revoked. The bill limits its restrictions on biomedi- cal research by explicitly confining its reach to the cloning uses expressly prohibited in the act. The bill as passed by the Senate thus intends to permit cloning genes, cells and tissues to develop medical therapies of the type described in Section 1. Even so, the definition of cloning may place unintended restrictions on research to solve infertility problems in couples with faulty cytoplasm in the woman's eggs or on biotechnologies as yet After passage in the senate, the bill was sent to the Illinois House of Representa- tives, where it was extensively amended.
