Ethics over science.

I corrected your statement. Just like the scene from 'Jurassic Park'. Scientists tend to get so involved with understanding whether they CAN do something, they don't stop to ask whether the SHOULD do it.

Is it ethical to pull the plug on a comatose patient just to have the heart for a transplant operation? I don't think I would want to receive a heart under that circumstance.

Just because you have a problem with killing old people to harvest their organs, don't try to force your morality on the rest of us.

Sheesh ... you Jerry Falwell types give the Republican party a bad name.
