Since that money comes from taxpayer wallets, the NIH must spend it wisely. Embryonic stem cell research is faulty and unethical. The New England Journal of Medicine reported the catastrophic results of a study involving implantation of aborted fetal cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease. The transplants caused patients to writhe and jerk uncontrollably. Dr. Paul E. Greene, a neurologist at Columbia University 's College of Physicians and Surgeons and a researcher in the study, said one man was so badly affected he could no longer eat and had to use a feeding tube.
Doctors have no way of removing or deactivating the cells.
Representatives of numerous pro-life public policy organizations, including Concerned Women for America, stood with the plaintiffs and lawyers in support of ending funding of unethical research. Immoral choices lead to death and destruction. If after meeting with government officials, the lawyers for this suit do not see a halt to federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, they will seek a preliminary injunction against the unlawful funding.
