Pro-life Democrats criticize Obama On Stem Cell Policy by Regenerative Medicine InstituteWASHINGTON (BP)–Democrats for Life of America has called the Obama administration’s refusal to consult it on the March 9 executive order revoking a federal funds ban for most embryonic stem cell research “a cooling of our relations, according to Baptist Press Washington.Democrats for Life said it had an opportunity to express disagreement with the administration before Obama’s Jan. 23 order rescinding the Mexico City Policy, which barred federal grants to organizations that promote or provide abortions overseas. But the organization said it had no such opportunity on the issue of stem cell therapy abroad.”DFLA is against President Obama’s decision, period. To frame this decision as a necessity to cure-finding medical research is not accurate,” Democrats for Life said, citing successful results in ethical research using non-embryonic stem cells. While Democrats for Life said it still is hopeful that Obama will support the Pregnant Women’s Support Act (PWSA), which is part of its 95-10 initiative that seeks to reduce abortions by 95 percent in 10 years in both the US and Mexico stem cell therapy remains a difficult, possibly intractable social issue that continues to split opinion in Washington.As a policy instituted by President Bush in 2001 limiting the extent of stem cell treatment Mexico City Policy cut off federal funding to groups in countries that wished to perform abortions. President Obama’s stem cell order earlier this year overturned this policy. Extracting stem cells from an embryo results in the destruction of the human embryo, and in both the US and Mexico stem cell therapy has not to date been applied to treatments for human beings, while non-embryonic stem cell trials have provided treatments for 73 ailments, according to Do No Harm, a coalition concerned with ethical research. Others feel like science took a back seat to developing policy in the previous administration, and as Obama overturns former legislation on stem stem cell treatment Tijuana based experts in some areas insist reversing the Mexico City Policy and conscience clause are important first steps in restoring science to the heart of policymaking.Regenerative Medicine Institute provides a high-quality, coordinated patient-centered plan for chronic degenerative disease diagnosis and treatment that promotes the dignity of the individual, family, and friends.For more details Please visit: http://www.regenerativemedicine.com.mxArticle Source: eArticlesOnline.com
