		<description>I retract the introduction of my statement, and apologise to these people who maintain this site: rashness often shows our own ignorance, and foolhardiness, however i would hope that God would still will that my words shall have merit, and someone may read them, and be convicted.</description>

		<description>I am curious as to why my comment has not been posted: so we advocate freedom of speech, yet deny those speech who we personally have a discrepancy with? oh no, i understand, this isnt a contradiction: this is humanity.

People: please realise that stem cell research at the cost of embryos, is wrong, plain and simple. If u have a discrepancy with the idea of an embryo as a human being, perhaps this will register with you, as it occurred to me the other day:
Human beings are -like the embryos we determine as beneath humanity- are a collection of cells at any point in our lives. Human beings renew themselves completely around 3-4 times in the course of an average lifetime. If this is so, what defines us? what binds all that together so that humans maintain their humanity? The religious call it the soul. The inconvienient truth? no amount of science can convict a man of his own respective essence. But, we cant prove the soul does not exist either, and science is emerging now, adapting to this idea of a threefold humanity (body, soul and spirit) though in denial of religion. Hypothetically speaking, if a &#039;god&#039; were to exist, as the great end all over us, what right do you have, Oh man, to exert your desires over another? To take life to save life? further, If those who are purely scientific do not acknowledge a soul, as science cannot prove it, can they not acknowledge -at least in other areas- the limits to scientific proof? why not in this area? and further, hypothetically speaking, if this &#039;god&#039; is to exist, calling that man shall not murder, do you, oh man, think you should tempt the unknown? You don&#039;t know when exactly this &quot;soul&quot; becomes present in a human being, this deeply human atrribute; inasmuch as you dont know exactly when this attribute leaves him (which makes much trouble at the other end of the scale also, with comatose patients): if you dont know, then isnt the wisest thing to do in your ignorance and humanity is to not risk it? not to tempt fate? not to defy God?</description>

		<description>Throughout that speech, Obama makes no attempt to hide the obvious risk and chance involved in pursuing this scientific line of research: all the experts agree, men like Robert Winters, that &quot;this may, this might, hopefully&quot; it will cure these diseases. Are you people that condone such actionS aware of the pheasability these stem cells will cure these terrible diseases? I am not without sympathy: my God has instilled that within me, and sickness is not in any sense endurable. But two wrongs do not make a right; in no way does this justify the lifes that are stolen for the good of another. This is verging on such innovations the Nazi&#039;s advocated! You will scorn me for that, saying that the Nazis were evil, yet say mind you some of their ideas, some of their findings in genetics have proved crucial to science today. In an ethical vaccuum, there is no absolute, only subjective morality.

And of this morality test, what are you exactly saying: that there are 100 fetuses floating in jars? that there are 100 pregnant women upon the third floor with unborn embryos inside them? your analogy is not plausible. However, i gather the effect of it and what you mean:
the person who placed that &quot;test of morality,&quot; you put yourself in that position: time is not a factor, you would do your best to save both parties in your humanity, not spending precious  &quot;time&quot; deliberating who to save, playing God: that is exactly what these scientists do, justifying death at the improvement of overall quality of our lives: would you consent to a plot of prime real estate in an African country, at the genocide of a tribe that has lived there for generations. Don&#039;t you dare belittle human life!!!</description>

		<description>The future? There is no future, we will become over populated and destroy ourselves. There will be a short, &quot;honeymoon&quot; period before the world is hit with issues on a greater scale than cancer or heart disease are at the moment. Either we can extend the life of our world a little longer (its already being cut short) or speed up the process which will ultimately end in even more suffering. I&#039;m not &quot;pro-life&quot; and my drivers license says i&#039;m an organ donor.. But there&#039;s only so far you should go</description>

		<description>I believe for the sake of our planet stem cell research should not Be allowed. I am not an anti-abortionist, I&#039;m entirely pro-abortion. The &quot;killing of onnocent embryos&quot; isn&#039;t the issue that bothers me. However, there is a point to which nature should be interfered with. Disease exists for a reason, to keep the natural balance of the world. In the short term this is beneficial to humankind, but to the rest of the organisms we SHARE the world with its highly destructive and selfish.</description>

		<description>First of all I am not denying that an embryo is a human, it is no question about it however the only reason I agree with stem cell research is because they are using embryos that would otherwise be thrown out from Invitro fertalization so either way the embryo will be killed. My daughter is a type one diabetic and I now more than every believe there will someday be a cure and she will no longer have to take injections every time she eats. I am very happy that President Obama has signed this.</description>

		<description>This is not a left-right issue. It is a right-wrong issue. Using these embryos is wrong, and who knows what type of tests they are doing with these embryos? Chimeras? Nazi eugenics? Who knows, the ruling elite are mad men!</description>
