Did I miss something in that movie, or has it > just been too many years since I have seen it? Someone please explain > this to me! > From what I recall about the film: 1. Euthanasia was *required* when you reached a certain age (or became disabled to a certain point). 2. The dead bodies were re-processed into "soylent green", which was used as food for the living. 3. I do not recall that the world was "starving", only that the "re- cycling" of human beings was being done for profit and convenience. My objections (and I will try and state them again) are not against *all* kinds of stem cell work, only against the concept of "making embryos" for such research and/or "treatment".
