Scientists announced Monday they are continuing to create human-animal hybrids that are posing concerns for bioethicists and pro-life groups. The latest creation has researchers at the Salk Institute in San Diego creating mice and injecting them with hundreds of thousands of human embryonic stem cells.
A long time ago doctors were required to swear on an oath that they would value life in the womb and life outside the womb. This is no longer the case. Though the Hippocratic oath was a Greek oath based on swearing to the gods of the time, it still challenged those working in the medical profession to maintain a sense of decency and to respect human life. The modern Hippocratic oath has removed those sections and God is being removed from government and the workplace.
Led by Fred Gage, the scientists injected the 14 day-old mice with the cells, which can only come from the destruction of human life. Gage argues the process doesn't give the mouse human qualities and shouldn't pose an ethical problem.
I can't imagine anyone who values life would look at this process and say it doesn't pose an ethical problem. Mixing mice with men is bizarre enough in itself, but killing human beings in order to do it adds plenty to the horror of this experiment.
"This illustrates that injecting human stem cells into mouse brains doesn't restructure the brain," Gage told the Associated Press. David Magnus, director of the Stanford Medical Center for Biomedical Ethics, told AP he didn't think the research "comes even close" to violating ethical limits.
The scientific and medical communities are operating in a "Lord of the flies" world and there are no adults around to supervise them. The bigger problem is, there are very few adults who understand what is really going on in those communities.
Another reason for the experiments is to determine the best time to inject people with embryonic stem cells. Thus far embryonic stem cell research has yet to yield any treatments for any diseases or conditions.
Embryonic stem cell research should not be happening in this country. We cannot control what happens in other countries but we must stop the experimentation on human beings in the United States of America. There are very few people who undertand that embryonic stem cell research kills human beings and agree it must end. The few of us who know must speak out for those who will die as guinea pigs. We must unite in our efforts and combine our voices so that we will be heard.
Join us in the Monthly Call for Life at MarchTogether.com every month on the first Friday. We contact our representatives through e-mail, phone calls and/or march on a local government building to let them know that we want abortion to end. Over 40 million people in this country have died at the hands of a "Doctor".
Even if you are already involved in a Pro-Life effort, join us anyway. We must stand up against abortion, cloning, embryonic stem cell research and other experiments on mankind.
United we stand -- divided they die -- pass it on
Peter,
