他宣佈自己反對使用這種非同尋常的畜牧繁殖技術來克隆人類，並下令聯邦政府基金不得被用於此類試驗——儘管還沒有人要求這麼做——他還請一個以普林斯頓大學校長哈羅得·夏皮羅爲首的獨立的專家組在90天內向白宮彙報關於制定有關克隆人的國家政策的建議。

3. In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning".
