well you got me. I really don't know how to argue against that. Basically you do see a line that can't be crossed. it kind of boils down to utilitarian ethics versus rules based ethics, I guess? there's things you just take as sacred. end of? What is interesting is that maybe my complete comfort level is an artifact to my mormon upbringing, mormon politicians were pretty supportive of the research bill against the tide of the evangelical criticism. if I had grown up pentacostal and broke away from that maybe I would feel completely differently, even without any belief in God.
