PRO-LIFE RESOLUTION ON STEM CELLS
WHEREAS, all human beings are endowed by their Creator with the inalienable Right to Life; and
WHEREAS, human life begins when a human embryo comes into being, whether by fertilization or by cloning; and
WHEREAS, embryonic stem cells can only be obtained by destroying a human embryo; and
WHEREAS, non-embryonic stem cells (taken from cord blood or adults) are the only type of stem cells successfully used to treat patients and save lives; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Republican Party in the above-named precinct that we urge lawmakers to ensure that no tax dollars are used for research involving embryonic stem cells but rather are used for research involving non-embryonic (cord blood and adult) stem cells.
Attest:
