Archbishop Cardinal George Pell, one of the most vocal opponents of the new legislation, warned Catholics in a press release on Monday against the bill that would allow �therapeutic cloning�, �human-animal hybrids�, �fertilizing immature eggs from aborted girls with adult male sperm� to form new embryos, and �mixing the genetic material of more than two persons.�??******* Because the bill retains the ban on human repoductive cloning, all embryos must be killed no later than 14 days after they have been created. With this in mind, Cardinal Pell states, �We were all embryos once. That is how we started and from there we developed. The human embryo cannot develop as anything other than a human being. Therefore, it has intrinsic human dignity and should be afforded that most basic of human rights�the right to live, to grow, to prosper.� ??******* NSW Premier Morris Iemma, a supposedly �practicing� Catholic politician, introduced the bill which will be debated in parliament today. Speaking on behalf of his fellow bishops in the state, Cardinal Pell called all Catholic politicians to be morally accountable to their Catholic faith in this vote. He states, �No Catholic politician�indeed, no Christian or person with respect for human life�who has properly informed his conscience about the facts and ethics in this area should vote in favour of this immoral legislation." ??******* Brisbane Times Reports quotes Cardinal Pell, �it is a serious moral matter and Catholic politicians who vote for this legislation must realise that their voting has consequences for their place in the life of the church.� The Cardinal also told reporters that he may withhold communion from the Premier for his outspoken support of the new bill.??******* Today, all politicans will be casting a conscience vote, and the Cardinal challenges them not to follow the example of the commonwealth that legalized therapeutic cloning in 2006. He condemns the rapidity with which the bill is being pushed through saying, �We should not blindly follow the lead of other parliaments in passing such unethical legislation.� ??******* The Cardinal also warns that this legislative change will only lead down a slipperly slope towards even more extreme abuses of human rights. �To produce a human embryo with the express purpose of destroying it for research�as if it were a lab rat�is a perverse new direction for human experimentation.� ??******* Cardinal Pell hopes to awaken the consciences of Australian politicians, but the Herald reports that so far he is meeting with much stubborn resistance.??******* See Cardinal Pell�s Full Press Release on the New Cloning Bill?http://www.cathnews.com/news/706/doc/pell-cloning.pdf??******* See Related Coverage: ******* Australia's Cardinal Pell Seeks Ban on Embryo Research http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/feb/05021111.html??******* Australia Retains Ban on Human Cloning?http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/aug/06080904.html??******* To Respectfully voice concerns, contact Mr. Morris Iemma:??******* Mr Morris Iemma,?Level 40 Governor Macquarie Tower,?1 Farrer Place,?SYDNEY NSW 2000?Phone: (02) 9228 5239?Fax: (02) 9228 3934?Email: thepremier@http://www.nsw.gov.au *********************************************************************************************************
