Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege to present to the House a petition signed by some 40 constituents of my riding of Cambridge.
The petitioners draw to the attention of Parliament that it is unethical to use human embryos for stem cell research. Since adult stem cell research holds great potential and does not pose serious ethical questions, the petitioners pray and request that Parliament take steps to ban human embryo research.
The petitioners urge that federal tax dollars only be used for ethical research not involving the destruction of human lives.
