I'm as rightwing as anyone around. I also have a family FULL of people who have been wracked by diseases which could be cured by such research.

It is absolutely unconscionable for those who claim to be religious to stand in the way of this. We're not even talking about abortion here...these embryos WILL NEVER develop into humans. To allow such fearmongering demagogues to halt research into treatments which could ease pain or cure ailments is plain wrong.

Now, let the flames, full of horrid namecalling and strawmen, begin! Let the insane comparisons to the Nazis start! It only places those who use such "arguments" in the same corral with those Leftists that they CLAIM to despise, yet whose emotion-laced tactics they seem to just LOVE.

Ah, but see, they have two things going for them:
1. They *know* they are right and everyone else is *wrong*, no beyond that, damned.
2. They are all tied together by their ping lists, true "Freep This Poll" types, tending by the number of posts they make to appear to constitute a much larger portion of Freepers than they actually are.

And it's so much fun too! :-)

They already are humans.

They are already human or did that uncomfortable thought slip your mind!

Yup! See,you and I don't always disagree!(G) I'm with you 100% on this.

But don't you know? They speak for God.

The Problem is that you do not have to Harvest and Kill Humans to do so. There is plenty of evidence that umbilical cord blood and Adults have plenty of stem cells used in PRACICE already today, it's just not reported.

Nah. Let's let nature take its course.

Calling people who disagree with you names (like "namecaller") doesn't prove that you are right or that they are wrong. Merely asserting that it is "unconscionable" to object to the killing of innocent people for the benefit of other people doesn't make it so.

You have offered no objective, rational argument to show why it is morally acceptable intentionally to kill certain innocent people in order to do medical research.
