Catholic bishops condemn embryonic stem cell research
The nation's Roman Catholic bishops issued a document Friday warning against what they consider the moral dangers of embryonic stem cell research, saying it treats human beings as commodities and reduces procreation to a manufacturing process.
With elections looming this fall, the bishops said they are not asking Catholics or the public to choose between science and religion. Instead, they are urging people to examine how society should conduct medical research.
Research advocates say that banning scientific use of embryos would halt promising efforts to find treatments for diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis. Human embryonic stem cells are created in the first days after conception and give rise to all organs and specialized tissues in the body.
But the bishops said that "no commitment to a hoped-for 'greater good' can erase or diminish the wrong of directly taking innocent human lives here and now.
Catholic Bishops should shut up and stop drawing attention to the way the priests molest common people.
The catholic church has about as much credibility as those molesters.
From a strictly scientific point of view adult stem cells have a lot more potential than embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are the only ones thus far used to successfully treat any diseases. Diseases treated by these non-embryonic stem cells include a number of blood and immune-system related genetic diseases, cancers, and disorders; juvenile diabetes; Parkinson's; blindness and spinal cord injuries. From both a scientific and ethical point of view it is a lot more beneficial to focus on these other stem cells rather than embryonic.
This is a lot of "Dark Ages" thinking. Stem cell research is the key to potential new medicines. The church has to stop seeing Satan in everything that is progress...
