Hmmm.  Why don't we just run some medical experiments on these Jews here.  After all, they're not people.  It will help medical science and we can all benefit.  God won't think I'm a bad guy.

The Catholics are blamed again.

Stem cells: Give us the cures, spare us the sermon

Human leather: give us lampshades, spare us the sermon.

Am I right in stating that the Bush decision does nothing to stop greedy biotech companies from doing research with stem cells to their heart's content?

If so, then it seems that everyone is mad because my tax dollars aren't paying for such research, and the corporations wan't to leach off the public dole as usual, instead of spending some bucks themselves.

No public money for abortions. No public money for using the dead babies' body parts.

Note that people who cite immemorial moral principles--like "Thous Shalt Not Murder," which are the basis of our civilization--are ridiculed as though they were claiming to cite personal revelations and visions from God.

Nine years ago, Byrne was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, which has led to
a retina condition called macular degeneration

Well, I guess you learn something every day here at freerepublic.
I thought diabetic retinopathy was the beasty that took the eyesight of some diabetics...
and that macular degeneration was a vision loss that occured throughout the
population...
(and suppossedly can be alleviated/stopped with vitamin supplementation in some folks).
(at least a prominent eye doctor in San Antonio told me he thought the vitamin regimen
could help...and not hurt anyone with macular degeneration)

[Arthur McGowan]

Note that opponents of these murders cite well-established, publicly-debatable, rationally-defensible moral principles, while John McLaughlin cites his PERSONAL, PRIVATE, NON-RATIONAL intuition about what God thinks.

It's sad when pro lifers continously use terms like dead babies and murdered innocents. Are these people really concerned with innocent life? If they were they would use their energies helping real children and end lifelong suffering and daily misery among hundreds of thousands of innocents that actually exist. That isn't their real agenda though. Imagine all the money given to the pro life movement which is a million dollar a year industry. All that money better spent given to real suffering children. A case that proves that religous brainwashing moves people away from making rational decisions.

In court you have to prove with undeniable facts not religious philosophy or theory. The pro life argument doesn't even come close to facts.

Maybe the next wave will be a movement to save unborn sperm and egg. Hey they are human life too so why discriminate!

Also using terms like murdered babies trivializes the worth of real babies who are living breathing suffering or really murdered and makes them equal to that of a braindead group of cells in the early process of dividing. They aren't equal and anybody who says they're has more than a few screws loose. They don't really believe that their own living children is equal to embryos or fetuses. They don't really believe that when a real child is murdered and when a fetus is aborted it's the same thing. If they do, it's sad and I really feel sorry for them.

What's really interesting about ESCR, and I just thought of this the other day, is, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE ANIMAL TRIALS?

Since when is any medical research performed on humans without animal trials first? What animal embryos have been destroyed to extract stem cells from, to cure animal diseases?
