Mexico City, Mexico, May 3, 2004 / 22:00 pm
At the conclusion of Sunday Mass in the Archdiocesan Cathedral this past Sunday, Cardinal Norberto Rivero of Mexico City, expressed his concern that in Mexico “the cloning of credit cards is rejected but not the cloning of human beings.”
The Cardinal reaffirmed the necessity to reject human cloning and announced that later in the day Church officials and medical experts would hold a press conference to explain their position and to outline the arguments against a law that allows for therapeutic human cloning.
Likewise, the Cardinal referred to the violence taking place in the country and said that although “we see signs of break-down, I don’t think this is the end of Mexico, nor does it mean democracy is at a stand-still, but rather we are in the midst of change in which we must all take part.”
