Is it right to "protect" living human tissue at the cost of some human lives and suffering

Life in all stages should be treasured, not destroyed.

Using the same argument I can say you are eating babies becaues every spearm made that is not being used is reabsorbed into the body

a sperm and an egg are not individual lives. they are in essance half a life since they only have half the genetic code. When they come together they build one single living entity.

two halves make a whole, so another way to interprate your words is that everytime a married ovulating woman dosn't get pregnant she and her husband kills a baby

He's completely free to do what he wish and move the country in the direction he believes is right.

That could also mean invading another country for it's natural resource under the guise of fighting terrorism

I guess Bush and most people who consider anything that came from an ovum human never tought of it like this:Would you kill a few people now to save many later or would you not kill them and make many more die

I still consider all stem cells as cells parts of a human rather than the whole

 

[Player-X]

Well if you put it that way:
Bush got in to war thus sacrificing lives in order to make the world safer (WMD's)
By that logic why not sacrifice a few 'lifes' by allowing these experiments to save more lifes in future.

Good point even though the WMDs were a lie but if you put it that way bush seems to be a hypocryte

BTW.I ment that if they considered embryonic stem cells as living humans then would a few deaths to save many be better

 

[Player-X]

Actuaily I am just seeing if they saw embryos used for stem cells as human beings would they see not researching it while causing a more suffering as something worth it

 

[Player-X]

it's a win-win situation but unfortunately politicians goals usaily involve manipulating the publics emotions to further thier own cause by putting embryonic stem cells on the discussion rather than the better choice

 

[Player-X]

probably

A fertilized egg is not much better off than a single one of my skin cells. It is not a human. I would draw the line where Boltz does (or slightly before) when the first brain cells develop.

Me too, it it's just a clump of cells I won't consider it a human being yet unless it grows brain cells either.

on the other hand If someone somewhere finds a way to turn any cell back into a stem cell this whole issue would be put down
