The
Boston Globe reports that a health
panel appointed by Gov. Patrick is seeking to overturn the important stem cell
guidelines former Gov. Mitt Romney instituted to prevent tax-funded unethical
research on human embryos.
Excerpt:
Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family
Institute, said removing the regulations put in place under Romney would open
up a "Pandora's box of creating human embryos in laboratory conditions on
a wide-scale production."
"We need safeguards against the rampant exploitation
of human life," he said. "Harvesting eggs from women is an
exploitation of women and creating human embryos for the sole purpose of
destroying them is an exploitation of human life."
UPDATE: It’s official. As CitizenLink and LifeNews report the health
panel in Massachusetts
has overturned former Governor Romney’s ethical guidelines preventing the
creation of embryos for destructive research.
