As a father of an adopted African-American son, I was startled to see the
picture this morning of President Bush using a white baby that was produced was embryo adoption as a prop to stop stem cell research that can save lives.
These children that were exploited as props for yesterday's event were produced by "The Snowflakes Program" a program of "Nightlight Christian Adoptions."
TWENTY ONE OF OUR SNOWFLAKES CHILDREN JOINED HIM IN ORDER TO PUT A FACE TO THESE EMBRYOS UNDER DISCUSSION.
To put a white face that is.
The Religious right and President Bush have chosen to ignore not only those who suffer from diseases that might be cured by stem cell research, but also the millions of living children without families or homes.
There is only one possible reason why someone would produce these children for the purpose of adoption - to produce white ("snowflake") babies.
There are plenty of children who need homes, but with embryo adoption the parents get a designer baby. The majority of the orphans in the US and in the world that need homes are not white babies, but African-American, African (literally millions due to the AIDS crisis), Hispanic, mix-raced, etc..
Embryo adoption follows in the tradition of eugenics - trying to manipulate the next generation of the human species through letting the living die while designing adopted children.
