I know, although I read the bible, it is full of contradictions, and it has many possible interpretations, both in the writing and in the reading. I just thought it was interesting, since many people who oppose stem cell research do it based on religious reasons. Thanks for not getting mad! So far, all the posts I have read have made excellent comments on the passage, and no anger yet! Outstanding! :) I almost didn't make the post, afraid that a new firestorm would erupt over such a delicate topic, but so far so good!

No Laci/Conner law here. Not much for a wife either since they were property. Can't quote the exact passage so you can check it out. However, if a woman is not a virgin when she is married she is supposed to be executed Deuteronomy 22-13-21 and of course the Bible supports poplygamy. Genesis 29-17-28, Samuel II 3:2-5, 5-13, I-Kings11-3, II Chronicles 11-21 also incest Genesis 19-31-36. The issue we face today is not really addressed by the Old, New Testaments or gnostic gospels. The problem of the soul is a difficult one. So is my body, such as it is.
