This phrase shows the mentality behind this. For them, it's like ordering fried rice and egg rolls to go.
Developers of the artificial womb believe that, in the future, it may be possible to grow all babies in laboratory hatcheries. Women will no longer be 'inconvenienced' by pregnancy for nine months and they won't have to worry about raising a 'defective' product.
The Virgin Mary foretold this in one of her apparitions.
This one also gave me the shudders...
Notice how Dr. Edwards makes a contradictory statement?... 'BABI is not abortion, it is pre-clinical abortion?' The reason for this double speak goes to the heart of the demonic inspiration: embryology takes as axiomatic that with conception and first cell division from one to two cells, an individual lifetime has begun and a continuum of individual life is in evidence; in order to obfuscate the truth, the 'new age' scientist who holds axiomatic that individual human life is a continuum begun at conception, must deny the first age along that continuum because she/he wants to exploit that earliest age of the individual human being! It is kind of like holding up a piece of rope exactly thirty-six inches long and defining that 36 inches as a complete continuum, then cutting the first three inches off of the length and using it for experimentation while insisting that the three inches was never part of the original simply because you want to use the first three inches of rope for another continuum of rope you deem more valuable.
We have reach the stage where scientists now practice cannibalism as enlightened medicine (yes, cannibalism, for it is the same as if the scientists gave you the embryos to eat for treatment) ... and they have inveigled society to embrace this cannibalism by dangling the cureall carrot so we won't see the rotting eugenic cart we will be in or the demonic horse created to pull us along perdition's road.
Technologically, we can exterminate the human race with nuclear weapons, but does that mean we should do so? An amoral society will commit suicide faster than a society under assault from an external enemy. When will America realize the external enemy is demonic, and enact legislation to protect nascent individual human life, preventing the final cannibalization of human beings? If the democrats have their way, NEVER. We will degenerate into the secular humanist cannibals the democrats have become already!

corporate greed - a buzz word term not often seen on a conservative website.
In a free world, the parents decide. The pro-life movement would do well to let go of the notion that they can force their religious/philosophical positions re reproduction on people who don't share those those views, and focus on the much more important issue of keeping governments out of the decision-making process. The best-case scenario is that all citizens remain free to make these choices themselves, in accordance with their beliefs. The worst-case scenario, which has been played in China in the form of forced abortion, and in Romania in the form of forced pregnancy and childbirth, is that no citizens get to make their own reproductive choices.
The pro-life movement's efforts to government in control of the matter has terrifying implications down the road. Once a population is accustomed to the notion that the government has the right to regulate individual citizens; reproduction, the government will easily modify the policies to fit it's own changing ends. For a while it might prohibit abortion, but when it decides the population is too large, or a certain group is too large, or there are too many "defectives" (by the government's definition), it will start requiring them.
wait till the GAYs hear about this...Fireworks.. :|
The IVF products...cells...in this article are not in the womb.
The author mentions criminalizing IVF and BABI and other forms of embroyo experimentation. We might be able to get BABI looked at, but IVF would be extremely difficult. And I believe the entire process has to start with making abortion illegal.
Let's look at the case where a special tissue match is needed for a cure of a disease already identified in a perhaps six-year-old child. The scientists conceive a bunch of individual human embryos and check each one, to assure there is no genetic defect in any of these embryos, then check each one that passed that test, looking for the tissue matched embryos for the six-year-old. These scientists find five that match, so they raise these five to an age when their tissues are differentiated sufficiently for removal (and the removal process makes a so defective embryo or fetus that death of the embryo or fetus occurs or is issued because of the less-than-perfect resulting condition, post harvesting) ... and then the six-year-old is given the tissues from the five matching donors, to eat!... to eat with the specific goal in mind that that meal will cure the malady. Tell me how eating the tissues from the donors killed for their tissues is any different than injecting the tissues from the sacrificed donors in order to cure the diseased six-year-old? Yes, that is cannibalism. The methodology intended for BABI is cannibalism. But far be it from government to make cannibalism illicit behavior, you proudly proclaim. Disgusting, selfish, disgusting embrace of anything science can do as long as it holds benefit for you or yours. Disgusting, and the people have a right to be intolerant of such disgusting cannibalism and demand law to ban it.
