There are new life issues every day due to increases in medical technology and decreasing ethics.
Euthanasia- “Mercy Killing” of the elderly, the infirm, the handicapped, the terminally and not so terminally ill.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research - Aborted embryos and fetuses are being used for stem-cell “research” in theory to cure diseases. This unethical approach has produced zero successful results.
Adult Stem Cell Research - Adult stem cell research offer no ethical problem, since in obtaining them, the donor human is not injured. Adult stem cells are now successfully being used clinically..
Vaccines- Vaccines for the following diseases, now being used in the U.S. were derived from aborted fetuses: Polio, Rubella, Rabies, Hepatitis A, Chicken Pox, Smallpox, Ebola, HIV
