Paul, Very well stated. I agree. Greg PAUL WROTE: > Could someone explain why a discussion of stem cell research always turns > into an abortion/antiabortion diatribe. Are those in favor of stem cell > research advocating that abortions should be performed for the purpose of > obtaining the stem cell matter or that after an abortion is performed (for > reasons known only to the person having the abortion presumably) that the > stem cells from the fetus resulting from the abortion should be used in > research? To my mind, it is akin to accusing someone who is in favor of an > organ donor policy AFTER someone dies of wanting to kill people to get their > organs. If a woman, for private reasons decides to have an abortion and the > stem cells of the resulting fetus can be used in experiments which might > result in SAVING lives, isn't there some sort of elemental logic which says > do the experimenting? Please keep in mind that there is no agenda in what I > am saying to purposely perform abortions to obtain stem cells for > experimentation. > > Paul H> Lauer >** --------- End Original Message ----------- ** >
