Physiciansforlife.org exists to draw attention to the medical realities of abortion, human embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, out-of-wedlock sexual activity, sexually transmitted diseases, and euthanasia.

Physiciansforlife.org strongly encourages sexual abstinence outside marriage in order to curb and eliminate the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases/infections, reduce the high rates of teen pregnancies, and prepare our youth to develop strong and healthy life-long relationships in the parameters of marriage.

Physiciansforlife.org also encourages non-embryonic stem cell research which uses human adult stem cells & umbilical cord stem cells (after birth) to successfully treat over 70 diseases including cancers, heart disease, and even diseases such as juvenile diabetes and lupus. Most recently, iPS (induced Pluripotent Stem) cells have emerged as the focus of ethical, cutting edge stem cell research.

The overriding goal of every physician should be to Do No Harm, to help every person live the longest and healthiest life possible.

 This photo features a 21-week-old human fetus (Baby Samuel), still inside his mother's uterus (womb). As the doctor prepared to close the uterus after the surgery, Baby Samuel's hand came out. The physician lifted the child's hand to put it back in the uterus. The photo was taken during the operation (Vanderbilt Univ, 1999) to correct spina bifida, a congenital condition. The child is progressing well.

"Fetus" is a Latin word meaning "offspring" or "young one".
