Just because the Commies go overboard with something doesn't mean we will. Harvesting medically useful bits and pieces - be they cells or organs - from the dead, be they embryos or adults, is not inheirently bad, nor is there necessarily a "slippery slope."
It's how the "got dead" that counts. If they got dead by nature's arrangement, that's one thing; but if they got dead because they were killed for the purpose, that is murder. People want to think that an embryo isn't a baby, but what the hell else is it? An eggplant? A pebble? A dog's nose?

Indeed so. And none of these, so far as I know, got dead for the purposes of being harvested for stem cells. They were "got dead" through means that would exist whether the stem cell thing was around or not.
