They also shoot people for complaining about their government. So I take it you'll councel against people who dislike Supreme Court rulings?

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." The dead are dead, and not using their bodies won;t make them any less dead.

It's the idea of making them dead that bothers me. By your logic, we're also wasting alot of protein by not eating or making fertilizer out of them. And I suppose we'd be splitting hairs to neglect the necrophiliacs.

And I'm not sure I know how to 'councel'.

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?
