On March 9, 2009 President Barack Obama issued an executive order that overturned President Bush's policy and opened the floodgates for funding more embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) which creates an incentive to create and destroy human embryos. I do not want to send my tax dollars to experiment on stem cells taken from human embryos that supposedly are "leftover" from in vitro fertilization. I would rather promote the adoption of these human embryos; the draft guidelines would require their death. Adult stem cells have proven to be effective. Use them in research.
