The reason the EMBRYONIC stem cell issue is so important to the left is not because it “might” produce cures,

it’s because to destroy embryos in order to conduct research on the stem cells DE-HUMANIZES the embryo.

This is VERY important to those who feel the real guilt of abortion.

To me there is a much more sinister angle to this.

 

The fixation on embryonic stem cells is way too passionate and obvious, suspicious in itself because R&D into the practical use of such cells is a constant dead end, since those cells are in a state of flux, not stable and settled like the adult versions. The embryonic cells are nearly a blank slate, if you will, possibly available to be re-programmed, re-molded into something else, above and beyond from what they were originally. So, what are the proponents of embryonic stem cell research really up to? Probably not to 'fix' or 'cure' anything, but to create, from malleable raw material? Is someone or a group of someones thinking of intruding on the domain of the Creator - perhaps even thinking that they could challenge the Creator Himself? Wise fools - tampering around with things they could not possibly ever fully understand and certainly not ready for a myriad of unintended consequences they could unleash upon themselves, if not the world at large. The Bible is full of warnings regarding such foolishness, and they disregard such warnings at their peril.

It DE-HUMANIZES the embryo!

It is also uneconomical for that matter. It is not a cure, no stem cell therapy is genuinely a “cure’. In the case of embryonic, you sacrifice a life to essentially treat the disease temporarily. It is federally funded because companies would lose money investing extensively in it.
