EMBRYO RESEARCH OPINIONS
A round-up by the Kaiser Foundation of opinion pieces around the country last week regarding embryonic stem cell research. Nearly all of them are pro. One exception is a surprisingly good piece in the Washington Times that notes the technological and ethical issues at stake. It rides a fine line between the two sides of the controversy and while it’s easiest not to take a position (and they don’t) the editors did do a good job of examining the heart of the problem.

The ethics are completely taxing. An argument can be persuasive but still be a mistake. We want to make advances but is
there a cost we have not considered? Impatience follows our desires. We feel we have the right in the name of science to
pursue Stem cell research and we want to help others right now--RIGHT NOW. This is the greatness of America we want better
for all and strive to help with every resource we have but….. in this case, there is a lot of fear for those who see an
industry sourcing embryos for their research as the source of these cures is an embryo—-Oh, in case that doesn't sound
scary--that is really a baby!
To those who argue that we should not waste an embryo why don't you consider eating your deceased parent while they are
still warm. I am equally disgusted by embryo research.
