One of the pieces of legislation surely to come within the first 100 hours of Speaker Pelosi’s planned legislation agenda is the question of stem cells. The main stream media does not seem to want to differentiate between embryonic and adult stem cells. Well, clearly it is one of the objectives is to cloud the issue. One type of research (using adult stem cells or stem cells from umbilical cord blood) has yielded positive practical results. The other type of research (using embryonic stem cells) has yielded nada, nothing but tumors in rats or mice.
I wrote the following letter to my congressman today asking him to vote against the Stem Cell [read, embryonic] Research Enhancement Act or HR3:
"I urge you to vote against the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (HR 3). This legislation would increase federal funding for research using embryonic stem cells (ESCR). First of all, to date there have been no positive outcomes resulting from ESCR, whereas there has been many successful outcomes from research on ADULT stem cells as well as from using umbilical cord blood. Why has there has been no private sector funding for ESCR? If ESCR was such a panacea, then why are there no sources of private funding? Could it be that private foundations and corporations do not believe in the merit of such research? Why should taxpayers fund such untested schemes?
"Secondly, ESCR is immoral. By necessity, ESCR requires the killing of life. Killing of life for whatever "lofty" purpose one might espouse or rationalize is wrong. Please vote against this bill.”
I fear that Pelosi & Partners have a great deal of mischief and mayhem up their sleeves for America during the first 100 hours and over the next two years for that matter. We must be very vigilant and duly diligent in tracking their every move legislatively. Conservatives and Christians make your voice heard in the halls of congress by informing your congressman or congresswoman beginning on this matter of destroying life by encouraging your representative to vote no on the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (HR3).
