Let us hope and continue to pray that God would bless our multi-facted approaches with a decline and ultimate end to this silent holocaust.

Frankly, I despair, short of a scenario that makes 9/11 look like a tea party.

Too many folks like the Servant of 9 (whatevers) - just fail to see how the balances are weighed out. No empire in history has done what this one has. Thing is - so much good, along side so much evil. Our run has been fairly short, compared to Egypt, Rome, Babylon. Clock is ticking.

Here's an interesting notion that occurred to me while discussing the uniqueness of a newly conceived individual human life.

It is argued by scientists wishing to exploit embryonic life that the embryo is not yet an individual human life worthy of protection. These same scientists want to remove the nuclear material from an ovum (the 23 chromosomal material of a haploid cell) and replace it with the 46 chromosome nuclear material of an adult in need of 'body parts' to treat a disease state. The magic thinking goes that the embryo is not yet an individual human life so it can be harvested with impunity. The dupicity of this argument resides in the nature of the target of the scientists, the uniquely matched stem cells of the cloned life; were the stem cells not existent in an individual human life of the embryo, they wouldn't be of use for harvesting! The embryo MUST be a human life and MUST be uniquely tissue matched to the patient to be treated. The very act of targeting an embryo so conceived supports the fact that the scientists know they are conceiving a unique individual human life else they wouldn't target that individual life for harvesting to treat a second individual human life found to be in need of treatment at a later stage in individual human existence.

The same reasoning may be applied to the fetal tissue harvesting industry: the fetus must be an individual human life else the scientists wouldn't be able to utilize the tissues in human application.
