Do not fill this in! ===Biotechnology=== Due to the Christian right's views regarding ethics and to an extent due to negative views of [[eugenics]] common to most ideologies in North America, it has worked for the regulation and restriction of certain applications of [[biotechnology]]. In particular, the Christian right opposes therapeutic and reproductive [[human cloning]], championing a 2005 United Nations ban on the practice, and human embryonic [[stem cell research]], which involves the extraction of one or more cells from a human embryo.<ref name="embryonic stem cells">{{cite news|url=http://www.necn.com/06/14/12/U-M-6-new-stem-cell-lines-available-for-/landing_scitech.html?&apID=22fa19f8d6a8466184e77507936d67b2|title=U-M: 6 new stem cell lines available for research|agency=Associated Press|date=June 14, 2012}}{{Dead link|date=December 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The Christian right supports research with [[adult stem cell]]s, [[amniotic stem cell]]s, and [[induced pluripotent stem cell]]s which do not use cells from human embryos, as they view the harvesting of biological material from an embryo lacking the ability to give permission as an assault on a living being. The Christian right also opposes [[euthanasia]], and, in one highly publicized case, took an active role in seeking governmental intervention to prevent [[Terri Schiavo]] from being deprived of nutrition and [[Dehydration|hydration]].
