Yeah but that's extreme in the other direction. While the issue might seem to be clear cut, I certainly don't know enough about it to draw a "bright line" so, at a minimum, I'd say there should be open debate starting with a definition of terms. i.e., what's an "embryo"? And what's "created solely" and what's "research"? For example, are the "embryos" created for couples that can't have babies "research"? If not, why not? And if we're going to say creation of THOSE is ok, why not for other types of "research"? And what about the ones that are already created? What's to be done there? Is the only reasonable remedy adoption of snow flake babies? So, seems easy, but probably isn't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:291560 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
