Anything that promotes the killing of unborn children is simply unacceptabe. Yes, in the eyes of the law, a baby is not "alive" until it is born, but medical professionals across the nation agree that life begins at conception. Also, I agree that the medical profession and pharmaceutical companies need to find cures for diseases, but the ends, in this case the potential cure to diseases, do not justify the means, in this case using cells from aborted children and in turn promoting the deaths of other unborn children.

If this were to happen, unborn children who otherwise would live, could be killed in order to harvest their cells. Please, understand that the ends do not justify the means, and please take this into account as you make your decision. Thank you.
