Archbishop Burke, Jill Stanek Dissect Missouri's Amendment 2
Archbishop Burke writes on the Exploitation of Women created by Missouri's Amendment 2 in Catholic Exchange:
"In the discussion of the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State of Missouri, known as Amendment 2, on the ballot for this coming November 7th, a most important consideration is the exploitation of woman, which it involves. As a shepherd of God’s flock, I am deeply concerned for all involved in the evils of human cloning and the destruction of the human embryo to harvest its stem cells. My first concern, of course, is for the most innocent and defenseless humans involved, namely the human embryos cloned through somatic cell nuclear transfer. "
The protection of innocent human life is obviously the most important issue here. The Bishop continues by outlining the moral evils of human cloning, which many of us are aware of , but then goes on to discuss the physical dangers to the woman which few of us realize and are shocking.
"I am also deeply concerned for the women who are necessarily involved in the process of human cloning....."
"Another moral question involves the danger to which the woman exposes herself. In order to produce the volume of eggs needed for cloning, women are given strong hormonal treatments to stimulate their ovaries to produce an unnatural number of eggs. The same drugs are administered to women who are undergoing certain treatments for infertility. From their experience, we know that a percentage of women will develop Ovarian Hyper-stimulation Syndrome which is most painful and can even result in death." [Entire Story]
