Stem Cells

One question...

Why would you not allow a couple who were no longer going to use their fertilized embryos to donate them to science rather than allow them to be destroyed?

One answer...

Because even though the research that would come from that science would save millions of lives, you would be destroying something that could become a human at some point.

I'm sorry, but I feel that the research is more important. We have a chance to potentially eradicate many horrible diseases simply by allowing couples to decide what to do with their own embryos, but our government, nay, our president won't allow it. Our goverment was, in fact, in favor of it. Why? Because he doesn't believe that we have the right to destroy one *potential* human life to save many others. As Mr. Bush says, "All life is sacred."

Seems strange that this same president would be in favor of the death penalty...
