Stem Cell Research

Wanna know what's annoying? The fact that in my religion class my teacher told me "according to the Bible, embryos are people" so therefore stem cell research was wrong. I disagreed because they don't use embryos from a pregnant woman, but that are frozen, never to be used and therefore it is not a bad thing. They told me it would be the same as walking into a hospital and taking the organs out of someone dying, for they would die anyway. It's not the same and I cannot believe they would think of the comparison. Also, I am entitled to my own opinion. They told me I was completely wrong. I know they say its a person as soon as it starts and what not, but there is so much we can get from stem cell research that is beneficial. I dunno, this just made me veryy mad.
You!

    Welcome to the world of religion. If religious people want to be "right" about something, they claim their god's opinion is the same as theirs, and PRESTO they will never listen to any argument or criticism again on that topic. They are not only right, they are righteous. You are not only wrong, you are also evil and the spawn of Satan. Religion is the ultimate way to shut down an honest and rational discussion.

    Well, it looks like you're going to Hell with the rest of us. Bring lots of ice.

    Seriously, many of the stem cells come from embryos that are due to be discarded. It all depends on when one decides life and consciousness begins. Your opinion on that is as valid as anyone else's. Great post. Thanks for making me think.

    You shouldn't use frozen embryos for that because you can get stem cells out of umbilical cord blood (see http://www.newscientist.com/a...
