If there’s any question in anyone’s mind about the future of Embyonic research, these baby faces should clear things up. Frozen embryo’s are people!

Here’s an article from Family.org about the seriousness of the Stem Cell Research debate.

Embryonic Stem Cell Research

May 21, 2005

This came this morning from the Family Research Council.
Each one of these embryos is a precious little child.

Please review this information and act on it.

Oppose HR 810 Federal Funding of Embryo Destruction
May 20, 2005

Early next week, the House will consider a bill that will federally fund research that requires the destruction of human embryos. Sponsored by Mike Castle (R-DE), HR 810 will federally fund research on human embryos that supposedly are “leftover” from IVF. Instead of promoting the adoption of these human embryos, this bill would require their death.

President Bush is the first president to federally fund human embryonic stem cell research. He determined that such research could be funded so long as the cells had been obtained from embryos on or prior to August 9, 2001. Since then, the government has funded research on over 22 stem cell lines. However, the President’s policy does not encourage the further destruction of human embryos.

Just as abortion is currently legal, destroying human embryos is completely legal. The debate is about federal funding. Though legal, we don’t federally fund abortion. Likewise, we should not force US taxpayers to fund research that requires the destruction of embryos. However, HR 810 would overturn the Bush policy and create a direct incentive to create and kill human embryos for research with your taxes.

Contact your Representative and let them know that you strongly oppose HR 810.

Sincerely,

Tony Perkins
President, Family Research Council
