Just like most of the "miracle cure" charities, they just play God with human life. And just like Obamacare, we are not free to say where our contributions are to be spent.

More like “using the remains of a human life that had been destroyed.”

Didn’t Palin and Bush do this?

I bet a lot of otherwise fine people have been fooled into doing this too.

“there is a chance your donation to The ALS Association could be used to support embryonic stem cell research”

Indeed. And there is a CHANCE the Earth will stop rotating tomorrow too.

Article is nothing but pure unadulterated alarmism. Embryonic stem cell research reached a dead end years ago as it didn’t produce a single therapy or breakthrough. Turns out that adult stem cell research is where the real breakthroughs are occurring.

Note that the article mentions that only a single embryonic stem cell activity had been funded by the ALAA and that that project is soon to terminate, no doubt due to lack of results.

I was very disappointed that St. Jude’s now experiments on embryos, and I wrote a note to tell them so, and that I regretted I can no longer donate to them.
