No Destruction of Human Embryos at RPI

This update is to reinforce the already clear truth that even if RPI researchers only directly deal with the embryonic stem cell lines, the guilt of such research is equivalent to research that directly destroys the embryo, for all embryonic stem cell lines required the destruction of an embryo to create. Outsourcing the murder does not make RPI innocent.

To:  RPI Administration

The news arrived on March 23rd, 2009. RPI accepted $2 million in funding for stem cell research, including human embryonic, which consists of the destruction of human life.

Science has long dictated without a shred of doubt that human life begins at the moment of conception. But as have all of the champions of genocide throughout history, some today claim that "this specific category of human life is actually of lesser value than this other type of human life, and therefore can be destroyed at a whim." So in the name of research and scientific advancement, RPI now joins the ranks of the Nazis, Slave-Owners, and others this world has known who seek to advance their own good by harming their innocent fellow humans.

We condemn, in the strongest of terms, any research being performed at RPI that harms a human embryo.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
