Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
I am specifically talking to those who are against it because it involves 'killing' an embryo.
Where do you draw the line in whats ok and whats not?
-Hormonal birth control... Do you know how it works? Its first measure is to try to prevent you from ovulating. But its second measure is to alter the cervical mucous and thin the endometrial lining making it impossible for an embryo to implant
Why is it ok to kill an embryo in a way that makes sure they never have a chance to survive, but not to do research on it?
-IVF... fertility treatment that almost always results in extra embryos that are other wise thrown in the trash... embryos dieing/being murdered because someone was so desperate to create life, even though their body said no, that they would risk killing embryos (the embryos that didnt implant, and the left over ones)
How is it ok to do this, and not ok to study the embryos that werent implanted that were already being destroyed anyways?
-Embryonic stem cells.... are only possible because of IVF. Im sure that some aborted fetuses have been used, but the mother has the right to donate a fetus to research the same as she has the right to donate the body of her 3 year old to research.
So, wheres the line? And why?
