I disagree that these factors - passing these thresholds - should necessarily introduce a moral threshold to a topic like stem cell research. If there is no suffering by anyone, I genuinely don't see why the loss of any 'potential' child/adult life should be a hindrance.

But then I readily admit I don't share the notion of sanctity. Wonder, yes. Awe, yes. Beauty, yes. Sanctity? No.

Yeah, and let us back track to how many pro-lifers also voted pro-war. Man, too early for a drink just yet, but I'm def. gonna have one later.
