The only thing that embryonic stem cell research is able to do, is to create tumors.
All of the benefits that are promised for stem cell research, come from adult stem cells.
And while the pro-aborts are yelping that we are passing up the chance of some “miracle cure”, they are remaining silent about the fact that every hospital in America (& the world) is every day incinerating umbilical cords, which are one of our richest potential source of stem cells…Of course, umbilical cords come from live babies; embryonic stem cells come from murdered ones… Which is to say, there is no $$$$ for abortionists.

Now I have a question. I know that Adult stem cells is the way to go. Yeah.
However, if someday a procedure or medication comes out of embryonic stem cell reseach (might never happen but lests suppose), as a future physician (Med student now) can I perscribe it to my patients and not be commiting a sin? I think this is a tough one.

Stem cell research doesn’t produce medicines. You have to use the stem cells themselves, from human embryos. This would be wrong.
But what gets me about this is that people with Parkinsons disease and other ailments are always brought out by the “researchers” as if to say “A cure for these people is available but evil Christian fanatics are wanting to stop it for their own arcane motives.”
This is utterly dishonest because **no cures ** have come from embryonic stem cell research. We are being asked to destroy human life in aid of a notion that something may one day come of it. Dr mengele is back in business.

I am curious. It is one thing to say that life begins at conception, and still another to say that, at conception, the embryo has been ensouled. Is it the position of the Catholic Church that ensoulment happens at the moment of conception, and not at some later stage of maturity? It really doesn’t change my opinion of stem cell research, but I was hoping for some clarification on this point. I suppose the Bible itself is no help, since no one then knew of genetic codes (or cells, much less), but I don’t know the official teaching, if there is one.

We know It cannot be ensouled until conception. At conception we now know that the embryo is a unique living being. An embryo has all the potential for full maturity. Logically, it cannot be pushed back any further than conception, so it is most likely ensouled at conception. I don’t believe the Church has made a definitive pronouncement, yet.

Perhaps this will answer your questions a little better:
vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae_en.html
Humanae Vitae
This document explains the basis for what we believe and why we believe it, and it is sealed with the authority of the Holy Spirit.
Enjoy!
