STEM CELL DEBATE CONTINUES IN OTTAWA - MP DELIVERS IMPASSIONED PLEA FOR LIFE
OTTAWA, January 30, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Mrs. Elsie Wayne, the Progressive Conservative MP from Saint John delivered an impassioned plea for the right to life of human embryos during the on-going House of Commons debate on Bill C-13 yesterday. Speaking about human embryos at conception, Wayne said, MPs are "talking once again about a tiny cell which is a tiny baby."
Wayne vividly expressed her distress at the legislators cold deliberations over destructive experimentation on embryonic humans. "I have been so dismayed in the past few months when I have looked at what has been happening and the direction in which we have been going," she said.
Wayne pointed out that human embryos and unborn babies are as much children as born children. "I have tried to make my position on this issue very clear. Would anyone realistically say that it is okay to take the lives of innocent three year olds in the name of medical science? If it is brutal and barbaric to take the life of a little three year old, why do we, as a society and as a government, not say that it is just as brutal and barbaric to end the life of a healthy fetus in the mother's womb?," she said.
She concluded her speech saying, "no way will we take the life of a child for research."
