Dear friend, I can understand yours religion concerns but please do not confound issues as long the researches are not killing or taking lives of new possible lives . The only aim I can see is to find cure for living people and victims of cruel diseases . I think if the concern is with saving lives the better would be to avoid misery , diseases and hungry that kills children daily by thousands in the whole planet and do not find as much defenders as in the the case of other controversial issues. This is a real fact that the majority of the people think is not their problem and seems to forget that that planet and the life in it was created as one and whole , and frontiers and countries were created by men with all their limitations This as consequence demands a question : what should be done about it ? Love, peace and warms regards. Joao Paulo , philip j lammers wrote: > Following is a portions of a letter which I submitted to The Sheboygan > Press in the Letters To The Editor.
