If you are donating to this cause please, please, please look into an ethical group who does not use embryos they created just to research on and destroy. There is a link in this article to one such site! The ALS Association funds a number of different types of research, and among these different types of research is embryonic stem cell research. For those who dont know what this is, this is when scientists take a female egg and a male sperm and fertilize the egg in a lab, and then after the new life begins to form, they remove the building blocks of life--embryonic stem cells. This is the same process that occurs when people struggle with infertility and then get in-vitro fertilization--the important difference is that instead of implanting the fertilized embryo into a mother so that it can grow into a baby, these embryos are experimented on, and then discarded. They are created for the express purpose of destroying them for medical research
