Bob:
Anytime sombody is putting up an argument, it does not mean that we
are bashing them. Of course there are arguments for both sides. That
doesn't mean that one should attempt to ban this research universally, just
because it is against one's philosophy. I say that eventually stem cell
research would get a go ahead, whether we like it or not. Simply because,
it has the potential to do so much good for the well being of humaniy. What
is being attempted at now, is to ban stem cell research totally without even
examining or understanding the full potential of this field of research.
It is like putting a ban on airline industry when the Wright brothers made
their maiden fleight.
The UN had a chance to ban human cloning using the stem cell
technology. Every one agrees on this point. But, they did not do that.
My question is "Why?"
