I tried to stay out of this, but I value my position too, and may have
something to say also inasmuch as I was to be a victim of the Nazis that
are mysteriously compared to some of today's policies.

I concur totally and unanimously with this statement.

The problem arises as to whose religious faith is the right
one; is it Catholic, Protestant. Islamic, Jewish, Bhuddist,
etc. or is your translated bible truer than my original one.
Likewise each religion may have a distinctly different
definition as to when life begins, with definitions coming way
before the advent of modern scientific tools.

I do not know what this means, but the word 'concrete' is
inappropriate in this discussion refering to abstract
ideas. At this point in time, I firmly believe that Stem cell
research is today's best hope for a cure and unfortunately, it
is becoming too late for my wife who is dying from Parkinson,
along with so many others who will be denied because of
misguided concepts. Those who oppose Stem Cell Research are in
fact anti life and should be so branded.
