Have you noticed and felt a shift in 2024? I hope you agree that this past year we have witnessed Pro-Life voices becoming more brave and strong than ever before. The territories won back are strategic and vital. Our numbers have grown because people sense urgency and momentum. Pro-Life encompasses every issue where the very dignity of human life is challenged. This includes abortion, elder abuse, the transgender agenda, assisted suicide, heritable gene editing, medical mandates, and transhumanism, just to name a few.
Think of the enormous impact that anti-life practices within medical research and healthcare have. And these practices touch all of us, not just some. Think about drug development and safety. Vaccines for our children. Organ donation practices. Infertility treatments. The very future of all human DNA.
That is what NCER is here to do: remind everyone that the gravely unethical choices made and executed within countless laboratories are not only killing innumerable embryos, but also paving the way to a Transhumanistic world for our very own grandchildren. It is fast approaching, and we must stand in the gap to prevent it. How? Intercessory prayer. Staying educated. Informing others. And taking a firm stand against it in our laws, culture, and society. We must continue to raise the bar!
The NCER mission statement is as relevant today as when it was founded by UNMC physicians 20 years ago…We are a statewide, countrywide, worldwide advocate for biomedical research that promotes the LIFE, DIGNITY, and RIGHTS of every human being at each developmental stage.
