Mr. Speaker, my second petition is from those wanting to draw attention of the House to the scientific fact that a human being exists from fertilization on and therefore it is unethical to harm or destroy some human beings to benefit others, in other words human beings being destroyed in the process of taking their stem cells.
The petitioners would want adult stem cells promoted in a great way in the country with funding. They request that the Parliament of Canada ban embryo research and direct the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to support and fund only promising ethical research that does not involve the destruction of human life.
