Matthews, during the debate, asked the candidates if they supported embryonic stem-cell research. Giuliani’s answer: “As long as we’re not creating life in order to destroy it, as long as we’re not having human cloning, and we limit it to that, and there is plenty of opportunity to then use federal funds in those situations where you have limitations. So I would support it with those limitations, like Senator Coleman’s bill in Congress.” Up until the very end, it sounds as though he supports federal funding for embryo-destructive research so long as it does not involve human cloning. But then he adds “like Senator Coleman’s bill in Congress,” which didn’t include embryo-destructive research. So I still have no clear idea what his position is.
