They both argued for stem cell research, since the abortion happened already why not use the stem cells (dead baby parts) for the "greater good".

Not hard to refute. For one thing, it is unethical and unlawful to take parts of someone's body without their consent. If the donor didn't consent, you are grave-robbing from a murdered baby, a crime scene. Utilitarian arguments FOR killing unborn babies for parts are grotesquely absurd. It's hard to imagine God would allow this to proceed without wrathful consequences. Sad that so many Americans, even those calling themselves Christians, see no problem with this monstrous development in tissue harvesting from the aborted.

I whole heartedly agree. While neither of the two was a close friend, they were pretty good acquaintances. I know that neither one had thought their positions through to its logical extreme.

What worries me is that there are so many who think like that. I actually heard someone say we should use aborted babies and old people for medical research so they could contribute to the society. Many of the doctors in pre war Germany used similar logic.
