Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, In this day and age, we are blessed with many medical miracles. However, we are still plagued by inflictions and diseases that seem to be beyond our control. With the success of adult stem cell research, we wish to open embryonic and fetal stem cell research for medical professionals. We believe the use of cells that have not grown in to any bodily form, have no heart, no brain, and no function outside what they are engineered and created for could be a huge asset for curing even the most serious afflictions of our time. We understand this is a touchy subject. Our intention is not to offend, but to allow for a great leap in the aid we are able to give those in dire medical need. Iason Toles Red Freedom Party |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The DAL believes that adult stem cells are enough for the advances that Mr Toles proposes could arise from the use of stem cell. Our party believes that life begins at conception, so the fact that organs have not developed doesn't qualify an embryo as a science plaything. Jose Manana III MP Majority Leader Member for Elbian |
