Not all stem cell research is the same. I am all for stem cell research that does not involve taking (what I consider) another life to improve my life. I will not do whatever it takes to make life better. It's just like organ donation, I would not want someone killed for me to receive a transplant. Removing stem cells from an embryo kills the embryo. You are not removing stem cells from something that has already died. Since there are other sources of stem cells that do not involve the purposeful taking of a life, that research SHOULD be pursued.

Are you aware that there were 2 bills that were going through Congress? The Alternative Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapies Enhancement Act pass unanimously by the Senate but was killed by the Democrats in the House for purely political reasons (I looked up the votes). They did not want President Bush to be able to sign this one so they could claim he is against all stem cell research when he vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. If it was such a simple right or wrong then Congress should have been easily able to gather enough votes to override the veto.
