If an embryo is humane life and we destroy it that is more of a direct threat to that life then some possible disease. True it does not threaten you, it only threatens that life. So let me see if I understand... if it threatens a group that we are not a part of (embryo's vs. born people) it is an ethical issue... if it threatens a group of people that we belong to then it is dangerous? Not trying to be disrespectful that is where that argument leads though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "KF Etzold" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 5:41 PM Subject: Fw: stem cell research/Fink/in vitro clinics-correction > > By the way all governments do this sort of thing.
