The FDA has given the green light for the first embryonic stem cell trial on humans. The Obama administration approved the bid by the cloning company, Geron to undertake the first trial using embryonic stem cells on humans. While adult stem cells have proven successful in many medical cases, embryonic stem cells continue to cause tumors and other concerns...there has not been one success yet.The Human Society has an ad on TV telling of the sad demise of a few animals, a cat, dog, and a horse, and request a donation to help save the life of defenseless animals, but when was the last time you saw an ad promoting the protection of the most defenseless of humans...the unborn? Our society puts more stock into protecting any animal than any defenseless human being...born or unborn. Join us after the 4:30 Mass or the 10:30 Mass this weekend for the Rosary for Life. “A nation that kills it’s own children is a nation without Hope” Mother Theresa. Mary Protector of the unborn, pray for us.
