Letter to Senate Majority Leader Frist

There is a way that seems right to a man,

I sent the following letter to Mr. Frist the Senate Majority Leader. But, I suggest that we especially pray for him through the end of August. Let's pray that God will cause Dr. Frist to become aware of circumstances or information that will help him see this issue from God's perspective. Perhaps the worse thing that could happen would be for the use of stem cells from unborn children to be successful in discovering many ways to heal diseases. Where would the resulting huge demand for such cells come from? Can we imagine God providing more dead children for the healing and comfort of those already living?

but in the end it leads to death. (Proverbs 14:12)


Dear Mr. Frist,

By endorsing the expansion of fetal/embryonic stem cell research you are endorsing the involuntary death of some for the benefit of others. Even if the research finds success in treating disease with these stem cells, the end result will be the desire for more and more embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cell research shows more actual results and avoids the ethical compromises that you are perhaps unintentionally endorsing. May God give you His perspective.

Sincerely,
Gerald Boyd
