Legislative Update
April 12, 2007
Father Joseph Howard from Houston testified before the House State Affairscommittee regarding bio-tech research on stem cells and human cloning. His testimony, which can be found here, expressed our support for adult stem cell research and opposition to embryonic stem cell research. Some of the billsclaim to be bans on human cloning, but actually allow for the creation, but not the implantation, of a cloned embryo, therefore requiring the destruction, freezing or research on the human embryo. The TCC opposes all such bills because they do not respect the dignity of human life, which begins at the moment of conception.
