The last argument the statement rebuts suggests that the embryos being killed are "unwanted" or "spare" embryos "who will die anyway." To this position the statement responds, "This argument is simply invalid. Ultimately each of us will die, but that gives no one a right to kill us."

The culture of death will NEVER understand this!

It is now possible to harvest embryonic stem cells without killing babies. I would hope that this type of embryonic stem cell research would be acceptable instead.

Embryonic stem cell research = 21st century cannibalism.

Nourishing themselves on the dead bodies of their own kind.

Pray for an end to this type of abortion and the conversion of America to a mindset of life!

**”The only moral stance that affirms the human dignity of all of us is to reject the first step down this path. We therefore urge Catholics and all people of good will to join us in reaffirming, precisely in this context of embryonic stem cell research, that ‘the killing of innocent human creatures, even if carried out to help others, constitutes an absolutely unacceptable act’ (Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life [Evangelium Vitae], no. 63),” declared the document.**

Wow! Did the Catholic bishops actually do the right thing?

**The letter, which also expressed the bishops’ support for adult stem cell research, will be followed by a second, “somewhat longer, more pastoral document, addressed especially to Catholic engaged and married couples (including those struggling with infertility), to explain the Church’s teaching on reproductive technologies such as ‘in vitro’ fertilization,” announced Archbishop Naumann.**

Excellent.
