Adult Stem Cell Downloadable Videos

“Adult Stem Cell Research: Making a Difference Today” is a 19-minute video which explains stem cell research using four human interest stories. This video would be a great opener for a Sunday School Class, Bible Study, or meeting on current events. Unfortunately, stem cell research is grossly misrepresented in the media, but this video is an excellent educational piece and will aid people when hearing about stem cell research or talking with others about this important topic.

“The Science of Stem Cells: Finding Cures and Protecting Life” includes testimonials from and interviews with patient advocates, prominent scientists and stem cell researchers urging support for adult stem cell research, a nurse and bioethicist who addresses the effects of egg extraction and human cloning on women, and a priest and bioethicist who addresses embryonic and adult stem cell research from a moral and theological perspective.

More Abortions and More Profits at Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood's 2006-2007 Annual Report again shows how America's leading abortion provider continues to increase its share of the abortion market.  The number of abortions performed at Planned Parenthood facilities rose to 289,750 in 2006 from the previous record high of 264,943 abortions in 2005.  Approximately 1 in 4 abortions performed in the United States are now performed at Planned Parenthood. Increasing their annual total of abortions also didn't hurt Planned Parenthood's bottom line as their annual income passed the $1 billion dollar mark for the first time and their profits (income over expenses) totaled a staggering $114.8 million (up from a profit of $55.8 million in 2005-2006).  To learn more about true life options when faced with an unplanned pregnancy, visit Right to Life of Michigan's web site, www.rtl.org.

British Researchers Create Cloned Hybrid Embryos
In hopes of creating embryonic stem cell lines to match the DNA of human patients, British scientists at Newcastle University have resorted to creating cloned hybrid embryos which are part human and part cow.  Cow eggs were used for these cloning experiments because researchers have had difficultly obtaining a large enough quantity of human eggs. While some researchers are looking for cures by disrespecting the sanctity of life, research using life-affirming adult stem cells is already successfully treating patients.  To learn more about stem cell research, visit www.stemcellresearchcures.com.

Sex-selection Abortion is Occurring in America
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found a highly unnatural sex ratio of children born in the United States to Chinese, Korean and Indian mothers. For parents who already had two girls, the chance of their third born child being a boy increased dramatically.  The authors write this is "evidence of sex selection, most likely at the prenatal stage."

Michigan Abortionist Ordered to Retrain Staff
Instead of levying a fine, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ordered abortionist Alberto Hodari to retrain his staff after medical waste, patient records and the remains of unborn children were found in his abortion clinic dumpster. Hodari could have been fined $2,500 for each violation.  If you or someone you know is facing an unexpected pregnancy, help is available by calling 1-800-57 WOMAN. Abortion is not worthy of a woman.
