Question for pro-life supporters with stem-cells?

Question

I ask this out of half curiosity/half pointedness.

How do you deal with people who are dying who would otherwise benefit from stem cell research? Do you feel responsible for their deaths?

I ask because it seems delusional to say "we should NEVER kill anyone." Wel, we are killing in Iraq right now. Being honest is a virtue also, yet people lie because inconsequential lies allow tolerance. My point is, finding a middle ground, no matter how hard it is to agree upon, is better than the extremes IF ONLY the agreed upon matter maximizes the most interests.

Kevin f - what is legal and what isnt is defined by man. If it doesnt have anything to do with, does that mean you wouldnt vote against it? what poor reasoning.

It is not smoke and mirrors in terms of guessing. There is vast evidence suggesting that it could help, like trials on mice. It is more concrete than the WMD evidence.

Answer 1

My thing is this. the embryos they want to use are those frozen fertilized eggs that are not going to be implanted in anyone and are going to be disposed of. So the question is for all those pro-lifers who feel their should be no stem cell research at all, why aren't they lining up at fertility clinics and asking for the eggs to be implanted in them since they are life and are going into the garbage anyway? Shouldn't they be putting their bodies where their mouth is? or better yet are you willing to sign certified documents that ANY research that is developed from stem cells, if by any chance they get a disease that could be cured by stem cells, they would not take the therapies derived from the research such as the possible cures for Parkinson's, Alzheimers, diabetes, paralysis etc?
Of course not.
I wonder, how would they justify denying all of our wounded soldiers, topping over 26,000 now, who are paralyzed, the ability to possibly benefit from research to give them a chance to walk again, something that was taken away in the service of the country.
The middle ground is using the eggs that were going to be disposed of in any event, put them to good use rather than throwing them in the trash. .

Answer 2

In fairness to Ms. Napolitano she went on Fox information this morning and really apologized. She also reported that she wanted she would have re-written the section that distinctly a lot reported professional-lifers as terrorists, and noted that there are those on the different area of the isle, alongside with animal rights activists, that at circumstances, also spill over into violence, yet did not advise to unmarried out any crew. Like your self i'm an unashamed supporter of professional-life and her apology appeared trustworthy. earlier this apology, although, it did not seem good. What maximum appalled me, although, develop into her use of the time period "terrorism." i imagine Obama has made it very sparkling that the official time period is now "guy-brought about catastrophes."

Answer 3

stem cell research and the war is 2 different things one is legal and the other is not the iraq war is legal and its terrorists that are being killed along with americans and british.how do we no they would benefit from it right now the research they have is smoke and mirrors there is no concrete evidence shone that it would help. no i dont feel responsible because i didnt have anything to do with it.

Answer 4

I am pro-life, but also in favor of stem cell research so you really can't group people together like that.

I see a difference in using embros that are not going to ever become babies in research and killing one already growing inside you.

But then again I also think that in some instances, i.e. rape, detriment to the mother, where abortion should be a choice.
