Alzheimer's Disease is a whole-brain disorder. It isn't remotely under serious consideration for a cure at the cellular level. By the time Alzheimer's manifests, the plaque structures are beyond cellular level treatment to remove.
May I ask if you would approve of cannibalism to cure Alzheimer's Disease? Ronald Regan would not have, by his own professions regarding the sanctity of human individual life from conception onward.

Invoking Reagan's name means nothing to me.
As far as calling it cannibalism is concerned I don't agree. You must be against organ donation and blood donation too if you are to call yourself intellectually honest.

Greetings, MHGnTN. This past weekend I was challenged on a matter concerning my 'loose' ethics on matters of war and my opposition to stem cell research. I've been stumped ever since and was hoping that you or someone else could help me...
The short of it is that my BF challenged me on an assertion I made...that if Osama bin Ladan were hiding in a children's hospital, I could live with the collateral damage because it serves a 'greater good.' However, he asked me...if stem cell research holds the key to serving a 'greater good' of curing diseases, why am I against it?
I have not been able to come up with a good answer and it's killin' me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards.
