Did you pledge money to MDA this weekend?

Did you know that they fund some research on embryonic stem cells?

Well, don't worry, you can still fulfill your pledge with a good conscience. An MDA spokeman wrote:

Although the vast majority of MDA's stem cell research involves "adult-derived" cells (from sources such as bone marrow)[which is perfectly ethical and we can support], a small number of MDA-funded projects do use embryonic stem cells.

We understand and respect the feelings of those who feel they cannot support research with these cells. You should know that you can still support incredibly important MDA programs such as summer camp, clinic visits and wheel chair purchases, which cost the Association more than $70 million annually, by marking clearly on your pledge card "for services only."
