Stem Cell Silence: Maybe Democrats Want to Destroy Embryos

It's never been about research, or curing diseases, or any of that. It has ever only been about legitimizing abortion in the eyes of its supporters, i.e., in the eyes of the guilty.

They know in their hearts that it's wrong. But they latched on to "embryonic stem cell" research as the lifeline that could pull them out of their moral quandary on to the dry land of rationalization. We're starting to see the same thing with the carbon-footprint people -- "I aborted my child so as to reduce the carbon footprint."

Disgusting.

Obviously, the sanctity of life is unimportant to many, including most democrats. Their support of unlimited abortion makes that clear. My point was that it may be prudent to wait before making public comments on this process.

I was quite excited at first, until it became clear that this process is being reearched and developed by destroying ESCs as well. Potentially, this is increasing the ESC destruction by driving another type of stem cell research.

I know that many politicians are reluctant to express opposition to stem cells because of the link to fertility treatments. This makes sense because embryos are destroyed in both processes. (I know there are some that claim to respect life, but there are very few that will implant a genetically flawed embryo) There are also a few hypocritical souls that are anti-embryonic stem cell research, and find nothing wrong with the fertility industry practices.

It is a tough area to gain an understanding of, and it isn’t always easy to be consistent. To me, reserving judgement until more information on this process becomes available is the most prudent thing to do.

I am highly encouraged by the attempt to create a process that respects life. It is disappointing that the attempt is destroying life in the process.
