Nevada LIFE Embryonic Stem Cell Research And Cloning Page
Embryonic
Stem Cell Research and cloning may be the most important
life issue of our lifetime. These threatens to make
human life a commodity and it treats human beings as means
to another person's ends. This page provides
Nevada LIFE opinions and statements on cloning and links
to leading cloning/stem cell research sites.
Why
do we oppose embryonic stem cell research? Because
embryonic stem cells can only be obtained by killing human
embryos. With our current technology, embryos-tiny
human beings in the embryonic stage, must be destroyed to
get embryonic stem cells. There are attempts to
procure embryonic stem cells without harming human
embryos. Check our Congressional Briefing Embryonic
Stem Cell Research and HR 810/S471, Why The Senate Should
Oppose S 471 And Support President Bush's Embryonic Stem
Cell Research Funding Policy section 8b Embryonic Stem
Cell Alternatives.
Why
do pro-lifers and other opponents to embryonic stem cell
research always talking about cloning? To overcome
rejection issues. It is unlikely that even if all of
the embryos available for research in fertility labs were
turned into embryonic stem cells lines, that those
embryonic stem cell lines would provide the genetic
diversity necessary for mass cures. Cloning for
embryos is thought to be necessary to overcome rejection
issues by creating a near identical genetic match by
cloning the patient. Whether this can be
accomplished or not, there will be other issues to
overcome such as teratoma tumor formations and
among other things, exorbitant costs and procuring unfertilized
eggs from women-a risky procedure involving drugs and
surgery. Read more in our Congressional Briefing Embryonic
Stem Cell Research and HR 810/S471, Why The Senate Should
Oppose S 471 And Support President Bush's Embryonic Stem
Cell Research Funding Policy section 7c Other
Arguments Against ESCR....
Embryonic
Stem Cell Research And Cloning Legislation. Several
types of legislation have been proposed in regards to
embryonic stem cell research and cloning.
