So we kill someone at a beginning stage of his or her life just to see how the killing process goes? No thanks. The Nazis did tests like that in the 1940s. If America goes that path, we will end the same way as the Nazis did. We have many successes with adult stem cells right now and that research doesn't kill human life and doesn't produce tumors or body rejection.

You are spinning information. I went to the article in New Scientist and it said that adult stem cells are safe unless they have been stored too long. Nothing strange about that. I wouldn't eat a sandwich that had been in the refrigerator for eight months either. Research scientists will have to accept that they are not "creators." Only God can create.

Not stored too long, allowed to replicate too many times. And that is an inherent feature of many types of potential stem cell treatments: start out with a handful of cells and set them to multiplying until there are enough for the treatment.
