Desperately Seeking: 
High School Pro-Life Groups


Generation Y has been referred to as those born between 1978 and 2000.  Are you a member of Gen Y?  We're looking to you to carry the torch for LIFE.

Social and family life today is much different than it was fifty years ago.  Influenced by TV, movies, the media and the internet, the struggles of younger adults are becoming more difficult.   

But eyes are being opened.  This generation is realizing that many of today's problems are caused by the lack of family values and the lack of appreciation for Life.  Unborn babies, the handicapped, and the elderly are seen to have less value than the "blond-haired, blue-eyed, and wealthy."  (How many of us are blond-haired, blue-eyed, and wealthy?)

To spread the word that Life is full of value and a gift from God, Berks PHL is seeking high school students who have the bravery and calling to start pro-life group in their own schools.

Sound like something that you could do?  Send us an email.

Stem Cell Breakthrough Uses No Human Embryos

“Scientists have made ordinary human skin cells take on the chameleon-like powers of embryonic stem cells, a startling breakthrough that might someday deliver the medical payoffs of embryo cloning without the controversy. … ‘This work represents a tremendous scientific milestone the biological equivalent of the Wright Brothers’ first airplane,’ said Dr. Robert Lanza, chief science officer of Advanced Cell Technology, which has been trying to extract stem cells from cloned human embryos. ‘It’s a bit like learning how to turn lead into gold,’ said Lanza.”

In the messy world of bioethical politics, truth and stands taken on the basis of principle don’t necessarily carry every day. But sometimes they can carry THE day.

Two incredibly important research papers, published online November 20, completely vindicate President Bush. Two renowned researchers have published results which show that embryonic-type stem cells can be produced directly from ordinary human cells, such as a skin cell, without first creating an embryo.
