Quotes to Note

We are now seeing the cloning of humans, mixtures of human and animal embryos, embryonic stem cell research (which makes and then destroys human embryos), the destruction of "extra" frozen IVF human embryos, and the sale of human fetal body parts, all presented by the media in very desensitizing ways. 

We must recognize that every abortion and every embryo produced and destroyed for "research" causes the death of a living, defenseless human being, if allowed to develop in an uninterrupted way.

Every one of these could be our neighbor, relative, or friend. Would we want someone we know to be treated this way? Why do we then allow it to happen just because we haven't met these little ones? Dignity is due to every human life from fertilization through the moment of natural death.

-- Michael Lathem, M.D.

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.

Baby Samuel at 21-weeks

 

 

 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".
