The appearance of medical care is not enough"Slow code" for many is a term in abstract debates on medical ethics, but for Brad and Jesi Smith, it became a well-defined fixture in their lives and the life of their daughter, Faith. Faith has the disease Trisomy 18. The Smiths believed doctors always looked out for the best interests of their patients, but they were wrong. A "slow code" is the practice of doctors giving the appearance of providing life-saving treatment to patients, but in reality withholding effective care to ensure the patient dies. Your help is neededRight to Life of Michigan is supporting efforts to remove abortion coverage from health insurance plans and to protect the conscience rights of health care providers. Check out the Prolife Action Center to learn how you can make a difference for life. Bonhoeffer: 'Not to speak is to speak'

Top Stories Researchers clone and kill human beings for stem cellsResearchers, led by a scientist at Oregon Health & Science University, for the first time created cloned human embryos and then killed them in order to remove their embryonic stem cells. In their paper, the researchers deceptively claim they reprogrammed skin cells using somatic cell nuclear transfer, the process that created Dolly the sheep. In Michigan, creating human embryos by cloning is illegal.
