February 16, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Canadian Diabetes Association has endorsed the use human embryos in stem-cell related research.
A concerned LifeSiteNews reader revealed the contents of correspondence he received from the Association, in which the organization said, “The Canadian Diabetes Association … supports the Canadian government’s direction regarding stem cell research in Canada. Any future embryonic or stem cell related research applications to the Association will be required to meet the requirements of the Act Respecting Assisted Human Reproduction and Related Research.”
The Act Respecting Assisted Human Reproduction and Related Research (Bill C-6) was passed into law by the Senate of Canada in March, 2004, and was immediately denounced by all major pro-life groups in Canada.
The legislation allows destructive research on human embryos ‘leftover’ from fertility clinics. It also allows the specific creation of human embryos for the express purpose of research on IVF, sanctions destructive in vitro fertilization and its allowance for homosexual couples, and contains loopholes which would allow for human cloning for research purposes.
