Of course. Jay Severin, radio talk host, is a prime example. I wish he'd show his face here, I'd send him off mumbling to himself about how he once thought he was on the right side of the bell curve when in fact he occupies the same space on the left side of the bell curve as most left wing lunatics.

You just did if it were human cells in your pic. Too bad yours weren't pulled out - with your hypothesis, the DIMrats would be smarter and we wouldn't be pulling in illegals to replace idiocy. If you pull out a tomato stem you don't eat because the tomato is dead. I guess you are four group rights, think that birth control includes murder etc.
No matter it is your opinion and you should have no reason to want to murder a human because of the other methods of stem cell research. If you do, you are just a sicko who wants to kill people so you can get laiX.

Science does not support that. Yes it does. You can tell if the person is a red-head, blonde, blue-eyed, boy, girl, etc. by the genes at the moment of conception if you had access to them. A fully, genetically formed, unique new human - or humans if it divides by mitosis to form identical twins.
You meant to say pro-life rather than pro-choice, right?

The Pro-Choice loons have defined human life as an egg that has been fertilized for 1 second. Science does not support that.I agree with your description of yourself as a loon.
As for human life, the science is clear, human life begins at conception. Only cowardly, ideologue loons won't admit that while arguing for utilitarianism.
Like you.

Why are you arguing religion when you specifically ordered me to leave my 'silly God' out of the discussion?
More 'make up your own ethics as you go along' Lunatic? I guess when you have no values, you prove it on a regular basis....
I asked you to prove scientifically that an embryo was not a human life. Do it.
You advocate killing it. The burden of proof is on YOU to prove that there's nothing there before you take her life and do experiments on her.

Did you know before 1869, the Catholic Church's official policy was that a human embryo did not have a soul until the woman was at least 6 weeks pregnant? Did you know that Thomas Aquinas thought that the male sperm contained the nascent human, with the female contributing nothing but the womb?
Science changes these moral judgments.
Until the Church can be certain when life begins, it errs on the side of caution and protects a fertilized egg as a human life.

I asked you to prove scientifically that an embryo was not a human life. Do it. Scientifically prove a negative? I see your rejection of education has come to fruition.

Then you do support the President's veto of this bill, right?
Yes I do enthusiastically !
btw, can you give an example of something that 'modern' conservatives want the taxpayers to fund? As a long time moral and fiscal conservative, I'd like to know what you're referring to.
Ok.. How about farm bill- a massive injection of funds into rural communities at the expense of the taxpayer. Do you believe good descent rural folk that can't compete deserve a special treatment ? Most modern conservatives do. What about Tariff's on steel from the chinese ( Punishing the consumer) to help AMERICAN producers as many modern conservatives demanded. Programs to reduce number of teenage pregnancies and abortions ( whilst fantastic) are NOT something the taxpayers should have to fork out for. BTW I acknowledge that the Liberals gouge the taxpayers far far more cruelly and consistently and there are many conservatives fed up with the government spending like a drunken sailor..

I see that you ignored the rest of my post.
Why are YOU using 'religion' to argue against me when you expressly forbade me to use it in the discussion of this issues?
Where do you get your ethics from.........John Kerry?
You can't use science to make your point, because science does not support your point.
Perhaps you need to delve into the 18th and 19th century philosophy that you use as the basis for your 'morals.'
I don't see you as much of a thinker (to put it mildly! LOL!), but it might help you understand yourself if you at least find out where your 'science' is coming from.

I didn't agree with the farm bill.
I'm still waiting for your explanation of the President's 'wrong motives.'
How do you know what they are? Are you personal friends?

Do human beings have a unique genetic code, a full complement of chromosomes, and individual characteristics unique to the individual?

No. People become unique human beings only when Lunatic Fringe decides that they are.
In the absence of God in his life, he makes these decisions all by himself.

Ok I phrased wrongly. I generally don't have a problem with this research if firms are funding it. I should have said I disagreed with the president's motives.

I hope you sleep well at night knowing that REAL human beings who are actually alive are going to DIE because of the Presiden't religious fairy tales.
A disgusting comment by a disgusting little pissant. I'll sleep very well tonight knowing that President Bush understands that the right to life is the preeminent one. I'll sleep even better knowing that his decision to veto this bill is causing you such angst.
Actually he's right. This administration has supplanted a successful condom distribution program in Uganda with an abstinence program. Well AIDS has sky rocketed since the change. We can't even control sexual activity in our own high schools but were going to curtail it in a 3rd world tribe.
Innocent people are dying because of this administrations fairy tale beliefs.
