Note: Embryonic Stem Cell is not about cures (there have been none in 20 years of research; only with adult stem cell lines); it is about human cloning (somatic cell nuclear transfer), making our women egg factories for research requiring hormone injections that have adverse effects in 35% of the women undergoing the injections; most important, it leads to the destruction of a human embryo and this is a devaluing of human life which is morally bankrupt.  There are also techniques to reprogram an adult somatic cell back to a state of pluripotency (in other words, to convert it directly to an embryonic-like stem cell). In both these methods, no embryos are created, no embryos are destroyed.  All citizens could in good faith support these methods of producing embryonic-type (pluripotent) stem cells.  We lost the vote for Amendment 2 but the fight for life goes on.  Contact your parish pro-life director and if your parish doesn't have one, phone Adrienne at 756-1850 and ask about starting one.   For more information on the stem cell issue, Click Here.

 

"Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." (Heb 13:20-21).
