This letter is in reference to draft guidelines for federal funding for research on human embryonic stem cells. I am opposed to using my tax dollars to experiment on stem cells taken from human embryos that supposedly are "leftover" from in vitro fertilization. Instead of requiring the death of these human embryos, I request that you promote the adoption of these human embryos. While I cannot be responsible for the actions taken by individual couples when determining how to deal with "leftover" embryos, I feel it is unfair to use my tax dollars to destroy human life when I am so opposed to that. Thank you for your consideration.
