It looks from this report like scientists may have found viable stem cells from ambiotic fluid, or something like that.
So add this source of stem cells to the cells you can get from umbilical cord blood and adult stem cells, and stop destroying embryos to harvest their stem cells.
I don’t get passionate about many things, but embryonic stem cell research to me is as bad as some of the "medical research" events that occurred at Auschwitz/Birkenau. Horrific might nearly be a suitable adjective. Call it what you will–it’s destroying a human life in the name of science.
There are a lot of hideous diseases out there. I’d rather have them all simultaneously than know that the cure to all of them lay in embryonic stem cell research. This rings especially true when there’s the possibility that science may not need embryos to get stem cells for research.
I know a certain actor and I would have words over this. If you’re on his side of the debate, fine. If you’re on my side, great. Don’t deride the actor for wanting relief from his suffering. He’s just an actor, not a fighter pilot. Some people can take the pain better than others.
I realize that’s easy for me to say that I’d take diseases over research. But then, that’s why God invented codeine, demoral, and morphine.
