What is the big deal with stem cell research?

Not all pro-lifers are Christian, btw.

I would say that if it is a viable embryo that let to develop normally without people "interupting" it, would form a human being.... then I would say that is wrong. That is where I stand. Feel free to "help" me refine my stance with circumstances I haven't thought of.

So you are saying you treat bums the same way you treat your mother?

Ouloat I guess you think that is a pretty witty remark.

From what ever side you see this it is politizied not just from the pro-life side but from both sides. It is a seperate issue that should be delt with by itself but if you have not noticed abortion is one of the most divisive issues of all times. Donated eggs from some respects are ok by me it is when they start harvesting eggs like any other commodity without the respect that this could become your daughter, son or the person who creates the cure for cancer ect. These are not chicken eggs mind you these are human eggs I think some people lose sight of where stem cells come from. And no adult stem cells don't have nearly the potential that embryonic ones do if so I think there wouldn't be a contraversy.

if you go by how south park presented it then it is a huge deal.
