jim, embryos ARE little people. just because there are not yet any discernable features does not mean they are not living humans. you will not change my mind any more than i will change yours. do not misunderstand. i am not against stem cell research. we walk a fine line diverting these embryos from the baby they were meant to be, to cells that may help heal many of our current physical problems. current research requires many embryos to help one person. to help all of us, would require deliberately creating thousands of embryos. using ones already in existence that are no longer needed or wanted by the couple wishing to have a baby, is not enough. to me that is a very tough ethical question. i worry about misuse. i wrestle with the question: is the cure worth the risk? i would definitely like my life back and be free of this nasty disease but at what cost? sami -- On Mon, 16 Jul 2001 22:21:11 Jim Cordy wrote: >I would like to apply two old sayings to cutting edge of technology issue of >Embryonic Stem Cells > Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
