Cutting Through the Spin on Stem Cells and Cloning,

For those who have not seen Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk's acclaimed television presentation of the above titled work, I seriously recommend it as a tremendous aid for Catholics and others who wish to learn more about this important issue. The video runs about 1 hour 20 minutes, the last 15-20 or so minutes is a Q&A session.

The hour talk by Fr. Tad is immensely enlightening for those of us who may not have a full comprehension of the biological and ethical aspects of the issue. Through pictures and explanations, Fr Tad walks us through the processes, exposing and refuting a number of myths and explaining the fact the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is nothing more than another name for cloning and that there are no fundamental differences between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning.

This video would be a great resource for a parish or group who wishes to learn more about the issue.
