Paper Abstract:
Brief report argues that permitted scientists to harvest new embryonic stem cell lines will have the effect of leading to more abortions. Cites arguments from President G.W. Bush, the Republican party and faith groups.
Paper Introduction:
Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Increased use of Abortion Somatic cell nuclear transfer SCNT also known as therapeuticcloning and based on the field of study generally understood as involving human or embryonic stem cell research is a form of scientific researchthat has the potential to lead to cures and treatments for serious chronicdiseases SCNT involves the removal of the nucleus of an unfertilized eggcell replacing it with the material from the nucleus of a somatic cell a skin heart or nerve cell

Catholic Bishops, 1 - 2). "2 4 Republican Party Platform." 2 4. Thus,there is popular support for the assertion that there is a likely causalrelationship between allowing researchers to harvest new lines of embryonicstem cells and increased abortions. Conference of Catholic Bishops. President George W. Many critics of embryonicstem cell research argue that expanding access to such cellular tissue willlead inevitable to an increase in the number of abortions performed eachyear. Conference ofCatholic Bishops as well as various Protestant organizations have rejectedany research that exploits or destroys human embryos at any stage ofdevelopment and believe that such research will encourage women to conceiveand then abort fetuses for profit (U.S. Many Americans support the President's contention that stem cellresearch of this type can lead to increased abortions. At issue herein is an analysis of how stem cell research ingeneral and SCNT in particular emerged as an item of deep concern andcontroversy on the American political agenda. 1) made the following announcement: As a result of private research, more than 6 genetically diverse stem cell lines already exist" I have concluded that we should allow federal funds to be used for research on these existing stem cell lines " where the life and death decision has already been made", This allows us to explore the promise and potential of stem cell research" without crossing a fundamental moral line by providing taxpayer funding that would sanction or encourage further destruction of human embryos that have at least the potential for life."President Bush (1) further decided that federal funds would be used forresearch on some 6 existing stem cell lines that had already been derived:1) with the informed consent of the donors; 2) from excess embryos createdsolely for reproductive purposes; and 3) without any financial inducementsgiven to the donors. A number ofinterest groups have weighed in on one side of the issue or another andhave undoubtedly helped to influence public policy. "Fact Sheet: Embryonic Stem Cell Research." 2 1.

Polling Report.com (3) reported that 4 percent ofall Americans believe that the use of embryonic stem cells should beprohibited in research and that it is likely that a failure to limitresearch to existing stem cell lines will encourage abortions. On August 9, 2 1, PresidentGeorge W. Bush (2 1, p. "Pro-life Activities." 2 6. Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Increased use of Abortion Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also known as therapeuticcloning and based on the field of study generally understood as involving"human or embryonic stem cell research," is a form of scientific researchthat has the potential to lead to cures and treatments for serious, chronicdiseases; SCNT involves the removal of the nucleus of an unfertilized eggcell, replacing it with the material from the nucleus of a "somatic cell"(a skin, heart, or nerve cell, for example), and stimulating this cell tobegin dividing.
