Everyone must remember this about the embryonic stem cell issue: it’s not about “cures”, it’s about not assigning any human value to the unborn.
Same with the abortion issue - it’s not about keeping abortions legal, it’s about keeping abortions already performed and participated in guilt free.
Most vehement “pro-aborts” are really “had-aborts” who know what they did and spend the rest of their lives justifying it.
I understand that, for many, the stem cell issue is about dehumanizing the embryo. However, there are many misguided people who really are buying into embryonic stem cell research for “cures.”
Beyond that, I think it is a good thing when people like Dr. Oz are intellectually honest. One doesn’t have to be “pro-life” to recognize the danger and folly of embryonic stem cell research.
If we can use a medical argument, in addition to the human life argument, I’m all for it. And I think if Dr. Oz isn’t pro-life (and I really don’t have a clue as to whether he is or not), it lends more credibility to the medical argument against this experimentation.
