Pro-Life Group Slams Nobel Prize Award to Stem Cell Scientists

Stem cell pioneers John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka have been awarded the Nobel prize for medicine or physiology in recognition of their works changing adult cells into stem cells. But pro-lifers are condemning the decision.

Although we cannot and must not disregard the achievements in the field of adult stem cell research--which has resulted in successful bone marrow transplants, treatments for leukemia, immune system and other blood disorders, cancers and autoimmune diseases, and others breakthroughs--Judie Brown, president of American Life League, says we must hold accountable those who hold themselves out as experts.  

"These scientists have been awarded a prestigious prize without due consideration, or perhaps in spite of their positions on the dignity of every human being from creation to death," Brown says.
