Adult Stem Cell research, ethics --has support of the Catholic Church

| | Comments (0)
His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI met recently with the participants in the conference, "Adult Stem Cells: Science and the Future of Man and Culture," meeting 9-11 November, in Rome. The Pope's November 12th address can be read here where he underscores the unique opportunity to discover the beauty of human life in all its complexities through the work of science. He points out that there are possibilities for the healing of chronic degenerative illnesses. He advocates for an ethic that respects the integral good of human life and the common good of society, especially citing Dignitas Personae.

He's lending his voice to scientific research which gives the best outcome to regenerative medicine. Dr Robin L. Smith and her company, NeoStem, organized the symposium with key Vatican offices.

Listen to a Rome Reports clip on the meeting.
