Life is a continuos process. A living cell comes from another living cell. No scientist has created a living cell in his laboratory. That is why the question of when does life begins is a futile one. One has to use some common sense and compassion for the fellow human being that are suffering and agree to help them by letting the stem cell research go nimpeded. I do not see that compassion and ethics in our government's policies or who spport their discompassionate policies. We are fighting against Islamic fundamentalists for they are attempting to thrust their fundamentalist approach to life in Afganistan and Iraq. At the same time our administration is thrusting its own fundamentalism in America by attempting to impede stem cell research and by firing the scientists who does not agree with their idealogy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joao Carvalho" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 10:40 AM Subject: Re: stem cell research/Fink/in vitro clinics > Wendy Siegel wrote: > > >Actually, as I have written before, I BELIEVE that life begins at > >conception as well.
