Documentary Throws Back the Curtain

The Human Experiment: Understanding Cloning and Stem-cell Research

This new documentary clearly explains the cloning debate and appropriate as well as inappropriate uses of stem-cell technology.

The video quickly and clearly explains what is at stake in this new abuse of the scientific process.

The program, partially financed with a donation from Vincent Fortanasce M.D. and California’s Physicians for Compassionate Care, contains interviews with many of the nations leading pro-life as well as scientific experts in this field. Wesley Smith; Wanda Franz, PhD (NRLC President); Joni Earrackson-Tada; Richard Doerflinger; Rex Greene; M.D.; and many others.

Going far beyond a ‘talking head format,’ the film shows some dramatic footage. Scenes include the collection of cord blood cells, the positive cures from adult stem cells, interviews and speeches from political advocates from both sides, and the implications for science and society should cloning and embryonic stem cell experimentation gain ascendancy over the more promising and ethical use of other forms of stem cells.  

With states across the nation seeking to follow California’s ‘lead,’ this film is an important educational tool for this pressing debate.

The Virginia legislature introduced such legislation at the beginning of the 2005 session. The Virginia Society for Human Life (VSHL) quickly ordered copies for each legislator on the committee and arranged a showing and discussion of the real issues involved in stem-cell research. The bill was immediately defeated. Brenda Fastabend of VSHL was very pleased with the result and said of The Human Experiment, “a compelling presentation, a very valuable tool which should be used as extensively as possible.”

The film was originally produced in California in preparation for the recent proposition battle that will now pour more than $3 billion dollars into government sponsored cloning and embryonic research projects. Proponents had spent in excess of 30 million dollars in the initiative fight. Pro-life forces spent a mere fraction of that amount, just under $300,000. Nevertheless the measure passed with only a 59% victory margin.

Many other states are also now facing similar proposals in both their legislatures as well as through initiative proposals. Few voters, and in many cases relatively few pro-life individuals, fully understand the nature of the debate. Even many Californians who had once actively supported the cloning initiative are only now realizing what it really does!

The program is appropriate for all ages and a useful tool for classrooms, libraries, bible study groups, pro-life speaking engagements and anywhere people want to look at the full implications of this debate.
