I want details about if he supported SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer), use of cord blood, adult stem cells, parthenogenesis and extranumerary embryonic stem cells from IVF clinics.

He's very much against stem cell research.
here's a small passage from PBS' Newshour:
"...KWAME HOLMAN: But Talent's fate this November could turn on another issue: stem cell research. Amendment Number 2, on the state ballot, would allow Missouri's stem cell researchers to conduct any research permitted under federal law without any interference from the state legislature. In May, Talent announced he opposed the amendment.
SEN. JIM TALENT (R), Missouri: I decided that I was going to look at this thing, and make the decision that I thought was right, and let the politics and the chips fall where they may.
KWAME HOLMAN: Talent equates stem cell research to human cloning and many in his religiously conservative, anti-abortion base of supporters agree. Among those attending the state fair in Sedalia was Meg Liston, who said the senator made the right decision.
MEG LISTON, Missouri Citizen: Senator Talent has always been pro-life, you know, and so I felt secure in just his personal faith and beliefs that, you know, he would do what he personally felt, you know, was right in the initiative...."

THIS JUST IN: TALENT HAS A NEW TV COMMERICAL THAT IS RUNNING IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA WHERE HE IS EXPLAINING HIS OPPOSITION TO STEM CELL RESEARCH ON RELIGIOUS GROUNDS.
