This whole issue of stem cells is a waste of time. The genie is
out of the bottle. Embryonic stem cells are going to continue to be
researched further and further whether any of us like it or not. It's
going to be heavily funded by the U.S. government too. Just a matter
of when. Stunt as you've pointed out that inch is going to become a
thousand miles. Does anyone remember nuclear weapons? The stem cell
race is on. And the nuclear nightmare that started as theory and
became application will happen with stem cells too.

The Stem Cell "Dilema"
In my opinion, the deeper issue requires an insight into how an "Inch"
keeps turning into the horror mile.
Org "Roe vs Wade" was nothing more than lifting the restriction on
abortion during the 1st tri-mester That inch was twisted into a
"Constitutional Right" to the point of argueing for sucking the brains
out of the skull just before birth. Approx 47,000,000 abortions have
been committed, and a good portion of those were AFTER that 1st
tri-mester.
Org "Child Abuse" laws were about "real" abuse, now they've been taken
so far as to punish parents who "ground" their brats, after every other
form of "attitude adjustment" has been declared "child Abuse". Since
mom can't wash out the mouth of her brat, society now is forced to
endurelistening to teenagers AND CHILDREN who could make a sailor
blush.
There is no "Seperation of Church and State" clause in the 1st
Amendment, however the part of "prohibiting free exercise thereof" is
totaly ignored.
Now its been twisted into prevention of "exercise thereof", declaring a
public place can't allow it.
Our modern "Indoctrination Centers" aka "Public Schools" have robbed an
entire generation of the truth in favor of "Political Correctness". So
a whole generation can't see how wrong those decisions are.
For this reason, too many people don't have the knowledge required to
see through sound bite news and political issues.
Remember, the USA wouldn't exist w/o "Christianity", as "FREEDOM" in
itself is derived from "Freedom of Choice", and our "Bill of Rights"
got their seeds from such Christian philosophies including "Love thy
Neighbor".

Now "Organized Religion" is a man made Idea, and that is a whole can of
worms which divides and seperates instead of just following the basic
principles.
For that reason I consider myself a Christian, but I don't believe in
organized religion.
But I do see the possibility for abuse if the "Inch" is given regarding
embryoninic research.
This is based on the previous abuses, not my religious views.
Today "disgaurded fetuses" tomorrow it could be embryo's created
just for harvesting.
Believe me, THAT is a real moral dilema. One where human life has no
value.
