Choose Life Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., the author of a 2005 law authorizing $265 million in federal research funds for adult stem cells from cord blood and bone marrow, asked in a statement: “Why does the president persist in the dehumanizing of nascent human life when better alternatives exist? On both ethics grounds and efficacy grounds non-embryonic-destroying stem-cell research is the present and future of regenerative medicine – and the only responsible way forward.”  (Catholic News Service, 3/9/09)

 

Christian One Liners

1. Don’t let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started out a basket case.

2. Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.

3. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.

4. Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.
