President's Stem Cell Veto and Executive Order is Pro-Science, Pro-Life |
June 20, 2005
A Petition to thank President Bush is below this statement.
The following is a statement by Nikolas T. Nikas, President and General Counsel of Bioethics Defense Fund, a national public policy organization that advocates for human rights from beginning to end.
"President Bush's veto and executive order strike the perfect balance of promoting cures while respecting the basic principle that human life should be served by science, not exploited by it.
Instead of falling for the approach of ignoring new science that makes the destruction of human embryos unnecessary, the President has embraced a course of action that promotes life-saving science and respect for every human life. The 'Pluripotent Stem Cell Registry' will promote federal funding of new and exciting science that creates pluripotent or 'embryonic-like' stem cells without the need to create and destroy human embryos."
Bioethics Defense Fund senior counsel Dorinda Bordlee invites citizens who respect both science and humanity to sign the Petition thanking the President, by clicking on the link below:
