News Release / Posted May 26, 2005
Michigan Catholic Conference announced its vehement opposition to proposed legislation that seeks to boost the state's struggling economy by appropriating public tax dollars for human cloning and destructive embryo research. The Conference is urging Michigan legislators to direct their attention toward ethical adult stem cell research, which does not kill human embryos and is currently treating some 58 debilitating conditions, including Parkinson's disease, brain cancer, heart damage and juvenile diabetes.
