On one hand, I do side with those who believe embryos are Human. On the other hand ... as long as in vitro fertilization is allowed to operate as they do, this is wrong and pointlessly wasteful.

Cranky, I submitted my stem cell ballot before I saw this quiz. Sorry if I inadvertently gave away the answer. I guess we're both thinking about this topic today.

No problem, mojo. I don't think you can point out the idiocy of Dark Ages George and his cronies enough.

What?? But I thought the evil scientists poked them each with microscopic needles while calling out Praise to Satan.

They're flushed down the toilet, or the scientific equivalent.

Loaded question, Crank. The conservative view is that licensing stem cell research will result in MORE human babies being killed. Don't really disagree. Nasty business.

From a personal perspective I find it difficult to get my arms around the idea that we are encouraged to end life in order to promote it.

Just me, not my party.

griffon,

This is a complicated issue, no doubt, and a higly emotionally charged one.

If embryo's are human,
why are they called embryo's and not humans?
They're a glorified blood-clot, fer cryin out loud!!
It's not like we LACK humans..
we actually have too darned many of us
so what's with all the sentimental attachment ..TO A BLOOD CLOT?

Call me harsh and pragmatic,
but call me.
