Embryonic Stem-Cell Research should not be funded with tax dollarsThis letter is in response to a letter published on June 28 by Alan T. Light of Iowa City. He states that embryonic stem cells are the key to cure many diseases. Once again he is overlooking the research of adult stem cells which are donated and have already cured many diseases, many by helping parts of the immune system.Last week on EWTN many patients that were cured with adult stem-cells called into a show to share their story. Mr. Light thinks that federal funding of the research is important so that cures can be found.
I would urge Mr. Light to send a donation of his own money to a laboratory doing research on embryonic stem-cells instead of making tax dollars of citizens who know that the process is inmoral and unethical pay for the funding. He also thinks that a Democratic president and congress needs to be elected for the funding to go through. Not that all democrats support this research, but really he is saying that a president and congress that doesn’t respect life needs to be put into office. When will people begin to realize the importance of life in this country?
