I received the occasional E-mail newsletter I get from the American Diabetes Association (ADA). As I’ve mentioned here before, I am a diabetic.

Their lead story was: NIH Chief: Stem Cell Ban Hobbles Science

Lifting the ban on taxpayer funding of research on new stem cells from fertilized embryos would better serve both science and the nation, the chief of the National Institutes of Health told lawmakers Monday. Allowing the ban to remain in place, Dr. Elias A. Zerhouni told a Senate panel, leaves his agency fighting “with one hand tied behind our back.”

“It is clear today that American science will be better served – the nation will be better served – if we allow our scientists to have access to more cell lines,” Zerhouni told two members of the Senate health appropriations subcommittee during a hearing on the NIH’s proposed 2008 budget. The NIH, with a nearly $29 billion annual budget, is the main federal agency that conducts and funds medical research…

Stem cells are created in the first days after conception and typically are culled from frozen embryos, destroying them in the process. Because they go on to form the body’s tissues and cells – Zerhouni called them “software of life”…

The ADA has a position paper on stem cells. Because of their position I do not support the ADA, and I strongly encourage people to drop any financial support they offer the ADA.

The testimony of Doctor ‘Mengele‘ Zerhouni is chilling. Human babies as software. Killing babies to “serve both science and the nation“. The man is as murderous as Dr. Mengele. He even uses the same excuses:

The subjects of Mengele’s research were better fed and housed than ordinary prisoners and were for the time being safe from the gas chambers. To Mengele they were nevertheless not fellow human beings, but rather material on which to conduct his experiments. On several occasions he killed subjects simply to be able to dissect them afterwards.A quote from Doctor Miklós Nyiszli’s book Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eyewitness Account, emphasis mine.
