Stem Cell and Human Cloning Research

"As to diseases,
make a habit of two things -- 
to help, or at least, do no harm."
Hippocrates, The Epidemics


Do No Harm
-- The Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics is a national coalition of researchers, health care professionals, bioethicists, legal professionals, and others dedicated to the promotion of scientific research and health care which does no harm to human life.  Among the founding fathers of this group is geneticist and Jesuit, Father Kevin FitzGerald, S.J., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Oncology; David Lauler Professor for Catholic Health Care Ethics; Georgetown University.  Do No Harm bases its activities on the principles set forth in "On Human Embryos and Stem Cell Research:  An Appeal for Legally and Ethically Responsible Science and Public Policy," prepared by The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity
