Stem cell lines.
All very scientific.
Everything will be all legal, of course.
Heard Howard Stern on the radio the other day. That paragon
of virtue was complaining about how President Bush is "forcing"
people to leave the US to get proper health care, referring to a news
story about some quadraplegic who is going to the Netherlands to
get stem cells implanted - as if that is going to cure him.

The bottom line is, to have a steady supply of stem cells (which the
activists say will cure just about anything that ails humanity) you
gotta breed human embryos, and kill them, to satisfy the stem cell
lobbyists. Of course, umbilical cord stem cells are just as good -
but they don't want to be limited to that.

After all, if we limit stem cells to only umbilical cord cells, then we
are saying that Roe v. Wade might be wrong, and that a human
embryo is a human being. And, if we kill the baby human being,
well, you could call that murder. Can't have that.

SO let's make it respectable and pretend it is. After all, killing a few
"potential" humans to save some old geezer's life (or even a child,
for the children, you know) is worth it, isn't it? After all, the most
respected doctors, scholars, and legal ethicists have assured us that
everything is completely legal, of course, and will be done
under the strictest medically supervised, sanitary conditions.
-- Your papers please?

An open letter to Sen. Frist:

Dear Senator Frist,
Many abortions today are performed in the 5th month of pregnancy, when genetic problems can be detected by amniocentesis. So when the pregnant woman says that she is sure she wants to abort the baby, now scientists can swoop down after the doctors remove it and take its body to help old people with diseases? Basically, if parents don't want a baby, we can use it for parts?

Jonathan Swift's Proposal got it about right, then?

Sincerely,
FReeper Yaelle
