Editor,
Our nation can debate the ethics of fetal tissue research all it likes, but discoveries and treatments based on such research from even organ harvesting of dead embryos will continue in many countries abroad that have no associated compunctions, and will be chalked up as one more loss to us in the global race to patent and implement cures through biotechnology. Meanwhile the cost of this research within our country skyrockets because tissue donor Planned Parenthood is being forced through the gauntlet set up by religious objectors.
Sincerely,
