Plank 140. Fetal Tissue Harvesting and Stem Cell Research:
We support legislation prohibiting and criminalizing the harvesting, sale, and experimentation, or commercial use of human fetal tissue, including those intended for use in vaccines, which requires or is dependent upon the destruction of human life. We encourage adult stem cell research using cells from umbilical cords, adults, and any other means that does not kill human embryos. We also support elimination of public funding for embryonic stem cell research, research on fetal tissue, or human cloning. All products that use embryonic and fetal tissue in their production shall be labeled in the State of Texas to inform consumers, promote alternatives, and affirm the value of human life.
Add Plank 140 (a):
Support legislation requiring full transparency and reporting by publicly funded nonprofits engaged in public policy advocacy.
