- False Promises: Common Cloning Claims Refuted
Pro-cloning forces have been working hard to convince state governments to pass constitutional amendments enshrining a “right” to clone and to destroy embryos for research. Such amendments promise medical cures, limitless profits, and ethical benchmarks. But all of these promises are false. In this pamphlet we show how such claims fall apart, and how you can effectively oppose cloning amendments in your state. (Download Here – Family Research Council)
- USCCB Issues Statement on Embryonic Stem Cell Research, June 13, 2008
Stem cell research has captured the imagination of many in our society. Stem cells are relatively unspecialized cells that, when they divide, can replicate themselves and also produce a variety of more specialized cells. (Full Statement – PDF)
