End federal funding for embryonic stem cell and fetal tissue research
What the document says“Research using human embryonic stem cells also involves the destruction of human life and should not be subsidized with taxpayer dollars.”
The chapter says research using fetal tissue from elective abortions is immoral and obsolete, asks that the ethics advisory committee overseeing it be restored and that Congress prohibit such research altogether, and that intramural projects using tissue from aborted children end along with the human embryonic stem cell registry. It separately asks that three-parent embryo creation and human cloning research be banned.
What the document actually says“Research using human embryonic stem cells also involves the destruction of human life and should not be subsidized with taxpayer dollars.”
This research destroys human life. Taxpayers should not pay for it.
Some research uses cells from very early embryos. Getting them destroys the embryo. The book says public money should not pay for it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
