JUVENILE DIABETES GROUP FUNDS EMBRYO RESEARCH WITH DONOR DOLLARS

NEW YORK, August 9, 2002 (LSN.ca) - The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF) has repeated its endorsement of destructive research on human embryos. Celebrating one year after the U.S. President's approval of use of stem cells derived from human embryos, the JDRF boasts of having spent millions of donor dollars on funding research involving the destruction of human embryos.

JDRF says it has increased its own funding for embryonic stem cell research in eight countries. JDRF has created a Stem Cell Research Development Fund-a new major gifts campaign which seeks to raise $20 million directly for stem cell research. The fund, championed by JDRF International Chairman Mary Tyler Moore and her husband, Dr. S. Robert Levine, will focus on derivation of new cells from human embryos created via IVF.

Contact the Canadian and American branches of the JDRF to express concerns:
