Write-in candidates for Governor of Maryland and Lieutenant Governor of Maryland
Simmins / Hargadon
The top ten sources of pollution of the bay will be ranked according to
their impact on the environment and the cost of clean-up. The results
will be presented to the voters of the State of Maryland who will vote
on three sources of pollution to remedy. Each time a source of
pollution has been eliminated, the process will continue. This way the
voters of Maryland get to choose what is important to them on the
environment and how much they are willing to pay to fix it.
Human
embryos are human beings. “Respect for the dignity of the human being
excludes all experimental manipulation or exploitation of the human
embryo” (CRF 4b).
Recent scientific advances show that medical
treatments that researchers hope to develop from experimentation on
embryonic stem cells can often be developed by using adult stem cells
instead. Adult stem cells can be obtained without doing harm to the
adults from whom they come. Thus there is no valid medical argument in
favor of using embryonic stem cells. And even if there were benefits to
be had from such experiments, they would not justify destroying
innocent embryonic humans.
