Re: stem cell research
Well, I am against it. But, I am not against the actual stem cell research itself, what I am against is the process of getting those stem cell's to research on.

Let's face it, the whole 'potential to...' argument is weak because according to the definition of life- an embryo is alive. Therefor, you have to kill it to get the stem cells, and this is what I am against.

Now, I am also against abortion, unless the mother looks like she is going to die from the pregnancy (and with modern medicine the actual event of a mother dieing while giving birth etc, is becoming rare), so how can these cells be collected?
