For the record John I'm with you I don't believe we are talking about killing humans with Embryonic stem cell research.
I was just trying to understand how these 2 killings are different in Bush's head.

It is not ok to kill people. We are talking about exploiting the availability of human tissue. Just stem cells. These are not and never will be humans. These are unassigned cells. They have no thoughts, no ambitions, no sense of self, and most importantly, no womb.
If I gave you all the pieces of a an automobile, you would not own a car. Even a good mechanic would only own junk because of the lack of tools. It isn't the big picture, its the small minds.

Innocent people are not purposely being targeted to be killed. At least not by U.S. military. The U.S. military uses every option available to avoid killing innocent people.
In the case where those soldiers are accused of raping that girl and killing the family, if they are found guilty after an investigation and court marshal, then they should get the death penalty.
Removing the stem cells from a human embryo means it is purposely being killed.
President Truman weight the options and decided to use 2 atomic bombs to try to end WWII. It was his decision alone to make. Some say he was right, some say he was right to kill a few thousand people to end the war where many were being killed. Over 60 years later some people think he made the wrong decision, but the rest of the world had to live with his decision.
Like President Truman's decision to use the atomic bombs, it was a tough decision to make. Unlike President Truman's decision, Congress had the chance to override President Bush's decision but failed to do so.

But it's ok to kill innocent civilians in the name of Freedom?
How come nobody will answer that question?
It's being done by the same man, right?
Why is it ok to sacrifice Iraqi people?
I guess calling them collateral damage makes it ok?
I'm just curious on what makes killing these people so different so please answer.
