Jerry Ryan: Bishop Morlino’s stance on stem cell use is wrong

Dear Editor: The only baloney I was able to find in the statements of Bishop Morlino was his assertion that he espoused a universal truth. Bishop Morlino was quoted as asking his constituents “How would any of us like to be killed to help somebody else? You and I were embryos once.”

What Bishop Morlino fails to mention or refuses to acknowledge is that the embryos used in stem cell research are destined to be incinerated if not used in research. Not a single embryo is saved by banning stem cell research.
