"there is NO reason to use embryos for this research."
What I am a little surprised at is that some here seem to believe that there is something good about embryonic stem cell research, in spite of the evidence. They claim that only those opposed to it, are religious, but they are the ones that ignore the studies. I find them to be the religious ones.
The facts support those who oppose embryonic stem cell research, yet I have seen multiple times where you have been referred to as an extreme religious person.
They are the ones that are ignoring science, not you and not I.
I guess we are "wrong" in their minds because we have a faith, but in truth, our faith is not the main objective that we are showing, we are showing the facts.
Facts are, still, sticky things. And facts still mean things.
The scientific facts don't support the continued use of embryos for research, yet those of us who know that are attacked on religious grounds.
For me it makes it obvious that the problems with those people are not political or intellectual, but spiritual. They resent people of faith and besmirch anything we say on that basis, whether it squares with the facts or not.
In this particular case, the facts don't support continued embryonic research, and the President is right from every angle by refusing to support that research with our tax dollars.
