Greetings!
I thought you might find my and Fr. Berg's comments in CNA interesting. We discuss Former President Clinton's recent appearances on Larry King Live in which he refers to unfertilized embryos when speaking about embryonic stem cell research.
CLINTON 1: "...if [embryos] are never going to be used to be fertilized, to bring a life into being, then I think making them available for medical research is the pro-life position and I honestly don't understand -- I would understand it if we were going and raiding stem cell banks, where these stem cells were going to be used to actually fertilize eggs and have babies."
CLINTON 2: "If it's obvious that we're not taking embryos that can under any conceivable scenario would be used for a process that would allow them to be fertilized and become little babies...then I think the American people will support this.... I believe the American people believe it's a pro-life decision to use an embryo that's frozen and never going to be fertilized for embryonic stem cell research..."
A snippet of my interview: Miller, said she was confused by Clinton's... comments and suggested that the former President may just be "confused. Clarifying that there is no debate in the scientific community about what an embryo is, Miller explained an embryo as "an egg that has been fertilized with sperm."
