Jim, I do respect your beliefs and your extensive knowledge regarding stem cell research. I'm guessing you would consider treatment derived from adult lines but might decline so called embryonic lines. I'm sure we'd all be relieved if adult stem cells turned out to be the best solution

I know I am in the minority in my believes, but I do not believe in IVF that creates embryos to begin with. If these embryos were not being created to then there would be no so called "leftover" embryos. Are you aware that President Obama signed H.R. 1105, the "Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009

The problem I have with defining "life" as Gunny has as not beginning until 28 days after conception (the joining of the male sperm and the female egg) is that once conception occurs the zygote contains all of the genetic information (DNA) necessary to become a child. Half of the genetic inform

I will make just a short statement regarding this, as I do not wish to become involved in a debate. Dr. Kerr has stated in all of his talks that the BIGGEST mistake in the very beginning was to even give it the name "embryonic stem cells". They are NOT embryos. They are NOT aborted fetuses.
