Organizations can stop supporting embryonic stem cell research

Though it may sometimes seem like every disease research association or medical institute supports the destruction of human embryos for research, not every organization does, and sometimes organizations that do can be convinced to change their stance. People who are considering supporting organizations who promote embryonic stem cell research can make a difference by asking them to change their policy.

The list of organizations that support embryonic stem cell research grew shorter recently when one organization, CureSearch for Children (formerly the National Childhood Cancer Foundation) notified us of a change in policy. Though they signed a letter to Congress back in 1999 supporting the legality and federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, their policy has been changed: "As the Foundation reviews requests for funding and makes decisions about types of funding to support, CureSearch for Children’s Cancer neither supports, nor provides funds for embryonic stem cell research."

If you oppose the destruction of live human embryos for research, and an organization you support or are considering donating to funds or promotes embryonic stem cell research, please consider contacting them and asking them to change their policy. Your effort does make a difference.

Proponents of human embryonic stem cell research often cite all of the potential treatments that may result from the research but fail to mention that human life is destroyed when removing these cells from a human embryo. Now researchers have pioneered a different kind of treatment that carries the same potential for treating disease... without destroying human lives. PDF
