Quite a list of charities: Resource: List of Canadian Charities Which Support Embryonic Stem Cell Research By John-Henry Westen LifeSiteNews.com has often been asked if certain Canadian charities support embryonic stem cell research - which causes the death of human persons at their embryonic stage of development. For several years, LifeSiteNews.com has compiled reports on these agencies. This is an ongoing project and this list is not complete, so you are encouraged to check on the status of groups not listed here. We would encourage those interested to politely contact the agencies they are most concerned about and encourage them to alter their positions. We have been successful in reversing the stand of The Arthritis Society as you will see in this LifeSiteNews.com story: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2003/jun/03061001.html Some agencies allow for "earmarked" donations, thus suggesting that those with objections to their funds being used to support the taking of human life may put their monies elsewhere. However, giving earmarked donations allows the organizations to free up other funds for the ethically problematic research. Since we are dealing with destroying human life, an apt comparison can be made to support for the Nazi party with earmarking donations for their program of providing cars for all families, or improving roads. LifeSiteNews.com has investigated the following list of Canadian charities and found them to be supportive of destructive research on human embryos. The links after the agency named will take you to the story covering the evidence on their support for the deadly research.
