A woman was recently suspended from her job at British Airways because she wore a tiny cross, “smaller than a ten pence peace.” Astounded, she said that, “I will not hide my belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. British Airways permits Muslims to wear a headscarf…Only Christians are forbidden to express their faith.”[1]

The title of this article says it all: “Liver cells grown from cord blood.”[1] While this will not yield organs for liver transplants yet, this will significantly aid drug development and testing, avoiding at least some of the need for human and animal testing. Without any of the moral problems of embryonic stem cells, this represents yet another example of the false and misleading way in which the debate is being presented in this country. We are not banning stem cell research. We are preventing people from being used, killed, as research material.
