Research involving Human Gametes and Embryos – ACART calls for public input

Heads Up! Let them know what you think. ACART is asking for public consultation. Have you heard about this on the news? Likely not. Take action by clicking here


Closing date for making your voice heard is 31st March 2023, only 6 weeks away!!!


In November 2022 the Advisory Committee on Reproductive Technology (ACART) released a consultation document on Research Involving Human Gametes and Embryos. This document discusses types of research that might be done on human sperm, eggs and embryos.


Embryos are human beings in an early stage of development. Right to Life is concerned that ACART is considering allowing for the experimentation on human beings. This is an abomination which we cannot allow to go unchallenged.


Do we want a future where unborn human beings are the subject of experimental research?


Do we want a future where parents can pick and choose which child they want based on eugenics?


Do New Zealanders realise that IVF already means that thousands of NZ children are stored in tanks having being rejected by couples who have undergone IVF treatment? Almost all of these unborn children will be destroyed after a certain time frame.


What can I do? Please help push back on the culture of death, which treats human beings as commodities by arming yourself with some knowledge by visiting the following links and taking action.
