“The author of this editorial--this is the lead British medical journal--says: . . . what is unarguable is that the human embryo is alive and is human, and intentionally ending the life of one human being for the potential benefit of others is not territory to which mainstream clinical researchers have hitherto sought claim--or which ethically conscientious objectors could ever concede. These embryos are alive. They are alive. They are human. I want to conclude, because time is very limited--Mr. President: I want cures for people. I want cures for juvenile diabetes, for cancer, for spinal cord injuries, for Parkinson's disease. And, with research generated from pluripotent adult stem cells, we are getting these treatments. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record a list of human clinical trials going on now, using adult or cord blood stem cells, involving no ethical dilemmas, for 65 different human maladies. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. (See exhibit 3.)”
