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.  Late last year, iPS (induced Pluripotent Stem) cells emerged as the focus of ethical, cutting edge stem cell research. In August 2008, scientists have announced the transformation of adult cells into other types of adult cells. All of these ethical means of cell research will undoubtedly transform medical treatments in the near future.

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".

Women Need to Know, and have The RIGHT to Know...

I was thrilled beyond words when my pregnancy test was positive.  My first thoughts were to tell all my family:  my six year old daughter first, I wanted her to tell her daddy; then our two year old and then the rest of our family.  My second thought - I want to donate the cord blood.  And then all the millions of other thoughts that come when you find out that you are expecting.
