*More Mockery: Judge in Case of Arrested Notre Dame Pro-Lifers is 
Married to Pro-Abortion ND Professor*

By Kathleen Gilbert

SOUTH BEND, Indiana, September 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) - The attorney representing the 
pro-lifers arrested while protesting Obama at Notre Dame today repeated 
his request that the judge in the case, who is married to a pro-abortion 
Notre Dame professor, be removed from the case.

Attorney Tom Dixon's motion provides detailed support for his assertion 
in a previous recusal motion that there exists sufficient actual and 
perceived bias that Judge Jenny Pitts Manier, the judge assigned to the 
"ND 88" case, is required by Indiana state law to recuse herself in the 
matter.  Dixon states that ever since Judge Manier has known her 
husband, Professor Edward Manier, he has been a well-known and outspoken 
advocate of the pro-abortion position.

As his views were well-known and have largely defined his identity at 
Notre Dame, Dixon argues, it seems implausible that Judge Manier could 
claim to be unaware of his views on the "ND 88" case, which stem from 
"the single biggest controversy in the history of the University of 
Notre Dame."

The case surrounds the arrest of 88 pro-lifers from across America who 
were charged with trespassing after peacefully witnessing against the 
presence of President Obama at Notre Dame The university awarded Obama 
with the commencement speech and an honorary law degree on May 17 of 
this year.  Arrestees were singled out for carrying pro-life messages 
onto campus - including images of aborted children, a large cross, and 
images of Mary - while several other trespassers with pro-Obama or 
pro-Notre Dame signage were allowed to roam the campus.

Dixon argues that the career of Judge Manier's husband at Notre Dame was 
largely defined by the very same controversies which prompted the 
pro-lifers to travel across America to ultimately land in the St. Joseph 
County court room.  In Indiana, a judge must recuse himself or herself 
from a case in the event of actual or perceived bias.

In the original recusal motion in August, Dixon says that Judge Manier 
refused to answer whether her husband had ever written on the topic of 
abortion, saying only, "I'm not my husband." 

Dixon highlights several ways in which actual and perceived bias exists 
in the "ND 88" case.  In addition to several writings revealing his 
pro-abortion beliefs, the professor donated "a significant sum of money" 
to Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential campaign, as well as additional 
donations to other pro-abortion rights candidates in the United States.

Manier, a supporter of the production of "The Vagina Monologues" on 
Notre Dame's campus, also attacked Pope Paul Paul VI's pro-life 
encyclical Humanae Vitae as "intellectually stillborn."

"When one analyzes Edward Manier's political contributions to pro 
abortion candidates and Political Action Committee, when one reads 
Edward Manier's writings referencing members of the Christian right, 
calling them 'fundamentalist mullahs' and 'jackleg preachers,'" Dixon 
writes, "it is hard to comprehend how Judge Manier could derive from her 
husband's writings the notion that he has no interest in the outcome of 
these cases."

Last week, University of Notre Dame law professor emeritus Charles 
Rice issued <http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/sep/09092405.html> an 
open letter to University president Fr. John Jenkins, saying that the 
school's attempts at reconstructing a pro-life image were a "mockery" 
while yet refusing to request leniency for the 88 pro-lifers awaiting 
trial.

FYI -- short list of references from studies recently published in 
PubMed concerning the endorsement and use of cloning by "embryo 
splitting" as "infertility treatments, and the push by lawyers to change 
and deconstruct the critical and accurate scientific terms of human 
embryology in law for "new practices and new times".  With these new 
fabricated "scientific" terms, the public won't even be able to tell 
what kinds of human embryo research, human cloning, human genetic 
engineering, or "infertility treatments" they are doing any more.  
Please pass on to interested others.  *The term "abortion" no longer 
involves only sexually reproduced human embryos, and the term "cloning" 
no longer involves only the SCNT cloning technique.*
 
In fact, neither have been true for some time now. -- DNI
  
 

*--  "Embryo-splitting" endorsed for "infertility treatments:*

The *American Medical Association* has recently renewed its position on 
the use of "embryo splitting" (i.e., a form of cloning) as infertility 
treatments.  FYI, I have copied the URL for this latest report, as well 
as the URL provided there for the original 1994 report which has been 
serially updated.  -- DNI

This Report provides a hyperlink to the original 1994 report that 
explains "blastomere separation" and "blastocyst splitting" in IVF 
facilities for "infertility treatments":

*CEJA Report 1-I-94*

Recent medical developments have enabled scientific researchers to split 
human pre-embryos into genetically identical sibling embryos.  ...  The 
first two techdniques involve the procedure of "splitting" or "twinning" 
embryos.  "Blastomere separation" involves the division of a four-cell 
or eight-cell pre-embryo into the individual totipotent cells 
(blastomeres), or groups of such cells, which comprise it.  ... The 
splitting of blastocysts ... is referred to as "embryo splitting".  In 
this technique, a blastocyst is bisected into two multicellular groups 
of non-totipotent cells, each of which is nurtured to encourage further 
development.  ...  The technique of splitting in vitro fertilized 
pre-embryos may result in multiple genetically identical siblings.  The 
procedure of pre-embryo splitting should be available so long as both 
gamete providers agree.  This procedure may significantly increase the 
chances of conception for an infertile couple or for a couple whose 
future reproductive capacity will likely be diminished.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of human embryo twinning by blastomere 
biopsy at different early embryonic stages (splitting efficiency) and to 
determine the in vitro developmental capacity of twinned human embryos 
(developmental efficiency). DESIGN: Randomized comparative study. 
SETTING: Private IVF centers. PATIENT(S): Couples undergoing IVF 
donating triploid embryos. INTERVENTION(S): Embryos at the 2- to 5- and 
6- to 8-cell stage were split into twin embryos. Half the number of 
blastomeres from donor embryos were removed and inserted into recipient 
empty zonae pellucidae. After embryo splitting, donor and recipient 
embryos were cultured in vitro. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Development of 
twinned embryos to the blastocyst stage. RESULT(S): The number of 
developing embryos obtained after splitting could be increased in 
comparison with the number of embryos available before splitting at the 
6- to 8-cell stage but not at the 2- to 5-cell stage (splitting 
efficiency). Splitting of 6- to 8-cell embryos yielded superior rates of 
twin embryos developing to blastocysts (developmental efficiency). 
Twinning success was related to the superior morphological quality of 
embryos used for splitting. CONCLUSION(S): This is the first report on 
twinned human embryos developing to blastocysts. This study exhibits the 
potential for novel applications in human assisted reproduction.

BACKGROUND: Early mammalian blastomeres are thought to be flexible and 
totipotent allowing the embryo to overcome perturbations in its 
organization during preimplantation development. In the past, 
experiments using single blastomeres from 2-, 4- and 8-cell stage 
mammalian embryos have provided evidence that at least some of the 
isolated cells can develop into healthy fertile animals and therefore 
are totipotent. We investigated whether isolated blastomeres of human 
4-cell stage embryos could develop in vitro into blastocysts with 
trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM). METHODS: Six 4-cell stage 
human embryos were split and the four blastomeres were cultured 
individually. The expression of NANOG, a marker for ICM cells, was 
analysed by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The majority of the 
blastomere-derived embryos followed the normal pattern of development 
with compaction on Day 4 and cavitation on Day 5 and developed into 
small blastocysts with TE and ICM on Day 6 (n = 12). The four cells of 
one embryo were individually capable of developing into blastocysts with 
TE and ICM, and NANOG was expressed in the ICM. CONCLUSIONS: Although 
based on a small number of embryos, we conclude that the blastomeres of 
a 4-cell stage human embryo are flexible and able to develop into 
blastocysts with ICM and TE.

BACKGROUND Recently, we demonstrated that *single blastomeres of a 
4-cell stage human embryo are able to develop into blastocysts with 
inner cell mass and trophectoderm.* To further investigate potency at 
the 4-cell stage, we aimed to derive pluripotent human embryonic stem 
cells (hESC) from single blastomeres. METHODS Four 4-cell stage embryos 
were split on Day 2 of preimplantation development and the 16 
blastomeres were individually cultured in sequential medium. On Day 3 or 
4, *the blastomere-derived embryos* were plated on inactivated mouse 
embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). RESULTS Ten out of sixteen 
blastomere-derived morulae attached to the MEFs, and two produced an 
outgrowth. They were mechanically passaged onto fresh MEFs as described 
for blastocyst ICM-derived hESC, and shown to express the typical 
stemness markers by immunocytochemistry and/or RT-PCR. In vivo 
pluripotency was confirmed by the presence of all three germ layers in 
the teratoma obtained after injection in immunodeficient mice. The first 
hESC line displays a mosaic normal/abnormal 46, XX, dup(7)(q33qter), 
del(18)(q23qter) karyotype. The second hESC line displays a normal 46, 
XY karyotype. CONCLUSION We report the successful derivation and 
characterization of two hESC lines from single blastomeres of four split 
4-cell stage human embryos. These two hESC lines were *derived from 
distinct embryos, proving that at least one of the 4-cell stage 
blastomeres is pluripotent.*

*The human embryo after Dolly: new practices for new times*

The possiblity of cloning human beings introduced a lot of issues in our 
ethical and legal frameworks. In this paper, we will put the focus into 
the necessary changes in the concept of embryo that our legal systems 
will have to implement in order to face the new situation. The 
description of the embryo as a group of cells able to develop into a 
human being will be defended here as the best way of doing so.
