...just a thought

But as i read the morning news after getting back from my work out I stumbled upon this article. I have never been in favor of embryonic stem cell research and this is why. In my college ethics class one of the things we discussed was "Why go for the path that can lead to questionable moral/ethical practices when it isn't necessary?" When there is no other alternative then we have to deal with the moral/ethical concerns but not when there is another path. We don't need embryonic stem cell to treat diseases because of great minds creatively coming up with new ways to use non-questionable ethical methods. Adult stem cell research is booming right now and mostly because of the restrictions placed on embryonic stem cell research by the previous administration. We are starting to see the fruits of hard working scientist who see that there is another path to cure disease WITHOUT having to destroy embryos. Next step.....get fertility clinics to stop taking more eggs than they are going to implant during IVF! Then the scientific community's arguement that these embryos are going to be destroyed anyways arguement will have no legs because there should be no "left over" embryos.
