Janice,
You are mentioning of taking a life to help yourself as unacceptable. I
do not know if I understand. There was a point made about growing your
own stem cells from your own DNA. This would not take somebody else's
life. Do not misunderstand me. I am PRO LIFE too. I also question how do
we know for certain all of God's plans? I truly do not want to spin
another discussion about our own faith.
Emily
