Why Would Anyone Want To Prohibit The Research On Stem Cell Technology?
Embryonic Stem Cells are not human beings. They are the potential for a human to be developed. So why do some people feel that to use stem cells for scientific research, would be the killing of human life.
How ignorant could anyone be to hold this mis-informed view!
If we had put science on hold for moral and religious beliefs, Penicillin would not have been administered for syphilis, and the other related STD's that it has cured from the human organism for decades, since it's discovery.
As we speak, several nations are doing the same research in order to attain the knowledge that leads to cures for Parkinsons disease, cancer, and other dire diseases. And if we here in the USA continues to be repulsed by this study. Then rest assured, that if and when these cures become a reality, America will find itself purchasing the medications for our own domestic patients, at the tax payers expense.
So before anyone shouts never, never, we MUST stop and do some REAL and Objective thinking about this matter!

PS: Incidentally, president Obama has lifted or repealed the ban that George W. Bush enacted, effective from today!
