There are 2 kinds of stem cells involved here

Thank you for helping refresh our memory. We are wasting way too much bandwidth here on political blows and parries, when we ought to be discussing social and ethical issues related to stem cell cloning and biology. The matter has every promise of being more important in the coming century than almost any other issue. What will become of the human race when every citizen in engineered rather than natural?

It will be a materialist's wet dream.

The fact is that we are hurdling toward eugenic practices that make Dr. Mengele look like Mr .Rodgers.

This garbage will only serve to further the reductionist mindset--no God/no human dignity/no compassion

I heartily agree with you, and not only on this topic.

My sister-in-law is alive, thanks to a stem cell transplant. In this case, they were able to use her own stem cells, but in some cases doctors may not be able to harvest enough healthy stem cells from the patient and may need to use fetal stem cells to form blood making cells.
