Voice Support for Ethical and Effective Stem Cell Research

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has a web page with information and links to send a message to your senators and US representative plus the National Institutes of Health on the proposed embryonic stem cell research policy.
Following President Obama’s March 9 executive order, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has proposed guidelines for federally funded embryonic stem cell research. The guidelines would - for the first time - use taxpayer funds to encourage the killing of embryonic human beings for their stem cells.

This marks a new chapter in divorcing biomedical research from its necessary ethical foundation, respect for human life at all stages
