I can understand how one can think that abortion is murder (although of course I don't respect someone who does)..
But to be against Stem-Cell Research..
That's like being against trying to find cures for diseases.
Be against abortion all you like, but don't hate Stem-Cell Research.. those people are just trying to help.

The problem is embryonic stem cells. Science is proving that adult stem cell are just as effective in research, and using the cells of aborted babies and those embryos created for research purposes are not necessary.
shareI have 3 problems with that answer:
1.) If embryonic stem-cells are not valuable, why do scientists want them?
2.) It doesn't matter because embryonic stem-cells are available already, since abortions will continue to happen regardless, so why not use the stem-cells?
3.) This has nothing to do with my original question. Embryonic or not, being opposed to stem-cell RESEARCH makes no sense.

The real question is why folks who are so hot to trot on stem cell research seem to underplay or ignore adult stem cell research.....
shareI can only think of two reasons:
1.) They enjoy killing babies.
2.) Adult stem cells are crap.
Only one makes sense.

And the other question -- why is this so significant an issue on the Jim Caviezel page?
shareBecause I like Jim Caviezel. Just wanted to clear his name.

He opposes abortion (murder) and stem cell research from embryos (living human beings), so, you don't have to "clear" his name.
Yours on the other hand...
Q: What happens if you get a gigabyte? A: It Megahertz!
Then I suppose we disagree.
But if you want me to clear my own name, sure, no problem.
To be considered a human being, you must have sufficient brain activity to be considered conscious of yourself (as opposed to animals who are conscious only of their surroundings). So, no, embryos are not "human beings".
In fact, they are identical to sperm and eggs in their status of consciousness.
As such, killing embryos or sperm cannot be considered murder, in terms of science and law.
But in terms of sentimentality or morality..
Well, I don't consider an embryo more "chosen for life" than any sperm. Just because a sperm happened to collide with an egg doesn't make it more important to me. If aborted, it would just into the statistic of the infinite number of potential babies that could have been born with the collision of any sperm or any egg.
So, the only thing that matters is not whether it is "alive", but whether it can have a good life. And if someone wants to abort you, you probably aren't going to. Aborting one fetus and having a healthy baby 5 years later seems better to me.
Does this "clear" my name, Mr. JJ?
