Stop Cloning and Embryo Research in NEW YORK STATE (e-mail)

[Sun]

I received this e-mail from NYSCatholicConference.org:

Stop Cloning and Embryo Research Contact Your Assembly Representative Now

On Tuesday, May 3, 2005 the New York State Assembly Health Committee voted in favor of releasing dangerous legislation (A.6300)that would promote human cloning for the purpose of conducting medical experiments on living human embryos. This means that the full Assembly can vote on this issue in the very near future. Please urge your Assembly representative to oppose this bill. Embryonic stem cell research depends on human cloning and is a radical assault on human life! Take action now.

Please contact your assemblypersons in New York State NOW to stop this Frankenstein abuse of innocent human life.

A small percentage of people who read about ESCR and cloning instinctively find it objectionable. The other folks haven't a clue of what is being proposed and probably never will understand the truth of the cannibalism intended because media whoredom has chosen to hide the truth from the general public, in favor of promoting the secular society for the long run.

If anyone wants to read and download a free manuscript about embryo stem cell exploitation and cloning, a manuscript written in lay person's language explaining stem cells and cloning, here's a link ; feel free to download and share at will, thousands already have but we need millions to dig into the facts.

"Please contact your assemblypersons in New York State NOW to stop this Frankenstein abuse of innocent human life."

Why would I do that when I favor stem cell research? I would also like to see the state attract more biotech industry.

Or would you just prefer China have a lock on this technology?

[Sun]

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

[Sun]

I favor stem cell research, too - ADULT stem cell research. Countless of people have been helped with ADULT stem cells, and you don't have to kill an embryo.

Please get back to me, when you have a chance, and tell me how many people have been helped with EMBRYONIC stem cells. I will anxiously await for your post.

I would prefer that NEITHER China, NOR the U.S.A. use Cloning/ESC technology.

THANK YOU BOTH!

You can easily send an e-mail or print a letter for your assemblyperson, if you go to NYSCatholicConference.org and click "Take Action."

This is their suggested e-mail that gives some background, but you can write your own, or even revise theirs, as well:

"I write to urge you to oppose A. 6300 by Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, a bill that would permit -- and fund -- the cloning of human beings who will be destroyed as embryos for the purpose of harvesting their stem cells. This is human experimentation and I strongly oppose it. I understand this bill is scheduled to be voted on soon.

I am certainly sympathetic to the plight of those who suffer debilitating diseases and injuries. This is why I strongly urge you to support ethical and successful adult stem cell research and reject cloning and embryonic stem cell research. The success realized to date in clinical trials with adult stem cells is so promising, for persons afflicted with diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cancers and many other ailments. Legislation to encourage embryonic stem cell research will only divert resources, energy and funding away from successful adult stem cell therapies.

So-called "therapeutic" cloning, the creation and destruction of living human embryos, is unethical and unnecessary. As a taxpayer, I also believe it is fiscally irresponsible. As my representative in Albany, I urge you to oppose this bill (A.6300) to legalize and finance embryonic stem cell research.

Please inform me of your views on this subject. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter."

MEMORANDUM OF OPPOSITION from the New York State Catholic Conference.

The other lists were pinged because the MEMORANDUM OF OPPOSITION has a "Sampling of Adult & Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Therapies" that has quite a list of references, some with links. I was thinking of reposting the webpage in this comment, but I had second thoughts. I hope the link is sufficient. Let me know if you want off a list.

I live around 50 mi. from Albany, NY.

By west, do you mean west of Rochester? Buffalo? How far west?
