Experts spell out case against UCC research

AT a recent seminar organised by Youth Defence we were treated to a superb address by two experts on stem cell research, Dr David Prentice and Dr Wesley Smith. Both men are known and respected worldwide for their expertise on this subject.

Dr Prentice explained in a clear manner the difference between embryonic stem cell research and ethical stem cell research. Your readers might be surprised to learn it is only adult stem cell research that is providing successful treatments for more than 70 different illnesses to date, including spinal cord injuries and cancers.

Why then is UCC embarking on research on embryonic stem cell lines which destroys human life and offers no cures?
