On the recordJanuary 11, 2007
I wholeheartedly support stem cell research in all cases except one, any form of research that requires the eradication of human life. The legislation this Congress is considering not only destroys human life and could ultimately lead to human cloning, but also is antiquated. Embryonic stem cell research has seen consistently disappointing and with fruitless results, while nearly every month more studies come out showing that ethical, adult stem cell research continues to flourish. Just this week my wife and I were heartened to learn about stem cells derived from amniotic fluid and placentas. It is time for Congress to catch up with the remarkable and ethical developments taking place in the scientific community. In truth, this debate isn't really even about the science of stem cell research, but rather how such research will be financed.
