"Read my posts #76 and #95 carefully and tell me that people aren't
being duped about Embryonic stem cell research.
My point is it is futile unless you cross the line."
See, now that type of reasoned response, supported by links pointing to research, etc. is exactly why I'm not in favor of my tax dollars supporting this potentially dead-end pursuit. If Private Company, Inc. wants to put aside R&D money to do so, laissez-faire.
"Unless you don't think that growing fetuses for origin cell and organs is crossing the line."
As someone who's intimately familiar with the IVF process (seeing as how my twins are alive today 100% due to it), I can assure you that currently, no blastocysts (5-day old collections of cells may indeed be life, but it's not a fetus until it attaches to the uterine wall) are being grown and harvested for any other purpose than for couples DESPERATELY wanting to have their own children. This distinction is lost on the maniacal far-right who simply want to label anything of such a nature as 'abortion'.
The two sides of this argument will never EVER meet in the middle on this.
