From Notre Dame Center from Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Ethics:
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops declared: “Clearly, the Church favors ethically acceptable stem cell research. It opposes destroying some human lives now, on the pretext that this may possibly help other lives in the future. We must respect life at all times, especially when our goal is to save lives.”
At the same time, in the “Instruction Dignitas Personae on Certain Bioethical Questions” the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declared, “The Church therefore views scientific research with hope and desires that many Christians will dedicate themselves to the progress of biomedicine and will bear witness to their faith in this field…Research initiatives involving the use of adult stem cells, since they do not present ethical problems, should be encouraged and supported.”
