EDMONTON, AB, Jan 5 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Disabled activist Mark Pickup has written a must-read commentary published in yesterday’s National Post in which he rejects the promising but unethical use of stem cells from aborted babies as possible cures for debilitating disorders such as his own.
“I have chronic, degenerative multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis,” writes Mark, “I might benefit from stem cell research!”“I am dazzled,” he continues, “by a dizzying array of promising developments that could alleviate or deliver me from a disease that is slowly destroying me.” In contemplating the morbid source of the therapy however, Pickup notes that it would be a “deliverance gained at the expense of another life.”“I could be released from the risk of breaking bones or continued deterioration with multiple sclerosis by feeding on unwanted human life. It is better to remain in a half-lead body than to resurrect lost function and lose my humanity.”
