Re: Embryonic stem cells

What kind of culture destroys its own young? What kind of horrific high-tech cannibalism is this, that we would create and then destroy human life to incorporate it into our own bodies?

The term "research" sounds so noble, but it hides the fact that what we're doing is destroying life and preventing children from being born for our own needs.

Read this Weekly Standard article about the next likely scenario: Human embryos cloned and implanted in animal wombs to develop for spare parts. (Actually, the "harvesting" of stem cells from embryos is exactly that: destruction of human life for parts.)

Here's a quote:

In America, there are currently no prohibitions and no limits on human cloning. There are no limits on the creation and destruction of human embryos. There are no limits on the implantation of human embryos into animal wombs to generate fetuses for spare parts. There are no limits on the creation of man-animal hybrids using animal sperm and human eggs or human sperm and animal eggs. There are no real ethical limits on anything.

As a woman and a mother, I have to ask, is this really the culture we want for our children?
