Interesting. I would suggest that you could donate the unborn "cells" to
couples who are infertile. Jen Dad w/ PD 55/39

SNIPPED
I was disturbed to see in the Dayton Daily News today the syndicated column
by Mona Charen, which is headed "Administration takes end run around
morality". Ms. Charen is a former speech writer for Pres. Reagan and
frequent representatinve of the "conservative" viewpoint on the CNN
political roundtable, "The Capital Gang" . She repeats the usual
objections, and even answers Sid's question by saying that "because one set
of people are cavalier about human life does not justify everyone else".
She cites other sources under study such as cord blood,,placentas, and
adult bone marrow cells. Since she apparently feels that the "leftover
cells" should not be used in ANY way, one might wonder if she is also
opposed to in vitro fertilization for infertile couples, which requires
"extra" cells to be "left over"---what would she do with them, I wonder?
I have no scanner, and the article is too long to type here--perhaps
someone who sees it in another paper can reproduce it, and perhaps Sid can
answer her---she can be reached at:
