We encourage you to become involved in the online discussion forum that has just started at www.bioethics.org.nz in regards to embryonic stem cell research. The Bioethics Council, which runs this site, is a Ministerial Advisory Committee and it will be reporting back to government in regards to whether we should allow the destruction of human embryos for medical research purposes.  Follow this link at LifeSite  for resource to assist you making a submission  http://www.lifesite.net/features/stemcellembryo/index.html    Please become involved and pass the words to friends and family, encouraging them to get involved as well.
