Monday, July 30, 2001 Dear Subscribers, Over the past few weeks, we have received an unusual number of emails concerning Stem Cell Research. To harvest stem cells from aborted babies or from artificially produced embryos is sinful because the deliberate death of an unborn infant is first involved. For several months it has been reported that from a natural, scientific point of view, it is unnecessary to take them from such sources because they can be taken from living adults for research. This information comes from the original researchers who cloned Dolly, the sheep. There is now still another news release this past Wednesday, July 25, that would be worth your time to read at: http://homepage.mac.com/ojoachim2/Education1.html Because this is being debated currently in Washington, a brief personal note written on paper to your legislators, explaining your beliefs, may carry much more weight than email, which, I understand is generally not read or tabulated by anyone. Most of all, please pray and offer a personal sacrifice that God's law may be upheld. In Christ, - Joachim Nelson, o.c.d.s. The Daily Meditations http://homepage.mac.com/ojoachim2
