Rejected petition Stem cell research, are the Church condemning us to death?

More details

With the advances in modern technology and medicines are too many people still dieing as a result of the Church's objection to advancments in stem cell research?

Parliament should debate the benefits of stem cell research to the world and why such a major breakthrough in medicine has not advanced due to the beliefs of the few over the needs of the many.

The Church has no right to condemn so many people to death and should have no bearing on the ethics of this subject.
