ADULT STEM CELLS
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH MUST RESPECT HUMAN DIGNITY
VATICAN CITY, JUN 27, 2007 (VIS) - At the end of today's general audience, celebrated in the Paul VI Hall, the Pope addressed some remarks to participants in an international congress on adult stem cells, being organized by the "La Sapienza" University of Rome.
The Holy Father noted how the congress "sets itself the aim of developing autologous cell therapy in the treatment of cardiac problems, through the use of adult stem cells. On this matter the position of the Church, supported by reason and by science, is clear: scientific research must be encouraged and promoted, so long as it does not harm other human beings, whose dignity is inviolable from the very first stages of existence."

Originally posted by ivanhoeUhm, kind of stating the obvious isn't it? Responsible scientific research always avoids harming humans, and the dignity thing is a matter of choice isn't it? If I want to donate stem cells I can, so my dignity isn't violated. Am I right in believing he basically gave this research the papal seal of approval?

Responsible scientific research ..... yes ....
Adult stem cell research doesn't violate anyone's dignity, as far as I know .... in opposition to fetal stemcell research.
Agryson: "Am I right in believing he basically gave this research the papal seal of approval."
If you want to put it this way, yes.
