Media Misleads about Stem Cell Research

From the Family Research Council:

The Kansas City Star should have its star taken away. The paper tells readers: “Opponents of early stem-cell research” are building a grassroots network to fight against Missouri’s ballot proposal that would permit cloning of human beings. The ballot proposal falsely claims to be a “ban” on human cloning but would in fact require cloned embryos to be killed at 14 days rather than implanted in a mother’s womb. On the related issue of experimentation on stem cells taken from human embryos, we oppose this as unethical. It is unethical because it kills a developing human being. The E in ESCR is for embryonic, folks, not “early.” This story falsely claims that pro-life groups–including FRC–oppose stem cell research. Untrue. We favor stem cell research. We are proud of our record in support of ethical research. Everyone favors stem cell research.

Another case of supposedly impartial news sources just giving us the news, right?
