FROM THE HUMAN LIFE COMMITTEE: If you are like most people, you are somewhat confused about the debate on "stem cell research." A stem cell is a human cell which is capable of growing into any type of cell in the body. These cells have been used to treat leukemia, sickle cell anemia, stroke, spinal cord injuries and more. There are two sources of stem cells: adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. The difference in these two stem cells is at the core of the debate, for in obtaining embryonic stem cells from a human embryo, a human life is taken. This is NOT a debate about whether or not research should be done to assist the fight against disease. The debate is about what the source of the stem cells should be. The Church does not oppose all research, only those methods that involve taking a human life. Below is a comparison of adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Keep in mind that the use of adult stem cells does not require the taking of human life. It is also important to note that as of this time, it is adult stem cells that have proven to be effective in treating multiple diseases, whereas embryonic stem cell research has not shown the same promise.
Adult Stem Cells 1. Adult stem cells are much more accessi-ble than embryonic, being found through-out the human body including fat cells and the umbilical cord. They can also be grown from a patient’s own body which may limit immunological problems. 2. Adult stem cells are more controllable than embryonic stem cells in their ability to form certain cell types. 3. Adult stem cells have not been shown to cause tumors.
Embryonic Stem Cells 1. Embryonic stem cells are obtained by taking a 5-7 day old human embryo and extracting the inner cell mass. These cells are then cultured and given growth factors to grow into specific types of cells. Without the inner cell mass, the embryo dies and thus, a human life. Embryos cre-ated in the process of in vitro fertilization are especially vulnerable because there are usually more embryos created than are implanted in the mother. The remaining “excess” embryos are often frozen for pos-sible use later, and in many cases, specifi-cally their embryonic stem cells. 2. Embryonic stem cell development pro-duces a cell that is more erratic and less predictable than an adult stem cell. 3. Embryonic stem cells have been found to form tumors in animal experiments.

The Second Reading
The second reading, which follows the psalm
(frequently omitted in children’s liturgies), is taken
from the letters of St. Paul and others. Hence, they
used to be called “epistles.” Sometimes this reading
is taken from the Book of Revelation. Most often
they are exhortations or explanations given by St.
Paul to the various communities at which he had
ministered. Again, they are a faith witness from those who have gone before. They
speak to us the same messages that were deemed necessary in the early church.

The church has consistently taught that human life must be respected at its very origin: “Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of concep-tion. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person – among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2270;cf. Congregation for the Doc-trine of the Faith, Donum Vitae I) We need to reflect on the gift of human life itself, and then everything about the issues of embryonic stem cell research becomes clear. It is our responsibility to help protect the weak and the vulnerable, and none being more vulnerable than the human embryo.
