More resources on embryonic stem-cell research

I want my readers to have as much ammunition as possible to challenge those who support embryonic stem-cell research. The best means of supporting the Culture of Life is to calmly, faithfully and compassionately present the true facts both on embryonic stem-cells and the dignity of life. So, here are a few resources to help you bring the Culture of Life to thosw around you.

With the upcoming election in Missouri, the proposed constitutional amendment that would allow nearly unlimited embryonic stem-cell research has taken center stage. Amendment 2, the full text of which you can read here, claims to allow embryonic stem-cell research while banning cloning. This is absolutely false. Fr. Edward Richard, the Vice-Rector of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and an expert in Moral Theology, has a wonderful blog site that points out some of the misleading statements regarding this amendment. His blog site, Contemplating Life, is in my list of links to the left and a site I recommend you visit often. His blog has dozens of resources to help in understanding the truth of this issue.

Another excellent resource is a web site titled 2Tricky.org. This web site succicently and clearly points out the tricky wording and outright misleading elements of this amendment. It helps one to see the real intentions of this amendment and how it give the medical community a blank check for the purposes of unethical cloning.

Another web site that helps one understand this proposed amendment is the Missouri Catholic Conference. Their site has an extensive page dispelling some of the falsehoods of this legislation. It anwsers nearly every question one could have regarding this amendment.

Lastly, here is a web site that provides broader election assistance is the Kansas Catholic Conference. Their site has a page entitled, Moral Principles for Catholic Voters, in which they explain the responsibilities of a Catholic in voting.

I encourage you to check out these web sites to arm yourselves with solid, truthful and convincing information you may need in the coming weeks prior to the elections. Feel free to direct persons to this blog site for more information and check the site often in the next couple of weeks as I plan on blogging about the issues of this coming election nearly every day. Until next time...God bless.
