I have a problem with all of the above. I don’t believe that this should be happening at all.

However, the method of obtaining the stem cells from the article does not use an egg, and therefore there is no embryo created. The stem cells are obtained from skin cells (I think) and their DNA is reprogrammed to allow them to become any other kind of cell. There is no damaging or altering of a human zygote, only the changing of the DNA structure of an existing cell, to create a line of stem cells.

There is much work to be done, but this gives scientists an avenue to pursue another type of research, without harming embryos. I think it is excellent news.

Two very hopeful ---heck, I'll call them "splendid" ---articles here. Looks like what we've been praying for has pretty much happened.

The Future is Now: Stem Cell Debate Changes

Wesley J. Smith (exceedingly knowledgeable guy) calls new stem cell discoveries 'Bush's Triumph.'

So an even happier Thanksgiving for us all!
