[Colonel Flagg]

T - I'm not a good-enough debater to be able to convince anyone toward one side or another of this issue. What I can say (not being a molecular biologist or a biochemist) is that the general tenor of the past 8 years has cast a long shadow on science in general. Humanity has a natural distrust of what it does not fully understand, and this is a prime example.

Where the cells come from is not an ethical dilemma - the embryos would be discarded or destroyed anyway. Ethics rears its head when the word "research" is used. Now scientists are performing "research" on human embryos. They want to begin cloning humans. Next they will be experimenting on fetuses. They are playing God. They are making the ultimate "DBGB" which will ultimately take over the world (thanks, Pac). They are evil, evil people and they should be destroyed.

It's absurd. We demonize those men and women whose life's work is to find a cure for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Spinal cord injuries, and other terminal cases. Why? Because they dare to use something we would otherwise have thrown away.
