Overview of Stem Cell Research
For most of us, what we know about the stem cell debate comes from the news media. But, do you wonder what scientists are discovering in regard to stem cell research? For instance, did you know the evidence in favor of adult stem cell therapy continues to grow within scientific literature?
Position Statement on Stem Cell Research
Focus on the Family opposes stem cell research that destroys embryonic humans. By requiring the destruction of embryos, the tiniest human beings, embryonic stem cell research violates the medical ethic of "Do No Harm." Instead, we encourage scientists to continue to explore stem cells found in other sources, including blood and skin cells, bone marrow and umbilical cord blood.
