Stem Cell Research is Inevitable...

Embryonic Stem Cell research is certainly a hotly debated topic. The newly Democratic House of Representatives just passed a bill to allow embryonic stem cell research, but the White House vows to once again veto the bill. Here is the link to the story if you want more info:

Story: House Passes Embryonic Stem Cell Bill

But let me try to break it down in simple terms for you...

We are talking about using frozen embryos that have been donated to fertility clinics for in vitro fertilization.

Doctors, Scientists, and supporters of this bill say that these are the most promising stem cells for research that could lead to cures for hundreds of diseases.

People who oppose this bill (most republicans) claim that it is similar to abortion and constitutes destroying a human life.

Well... here is the problem I have with that. First of all, I do not believe it is destroying a human life. But let's not get into a moral debate here.

The real issue is... THESE EMBRYOS ARE GETTING TRASHED ANYWAY!!

So opponents are hypocritical because by not passing or vetoing this bill, you are allowing clinics to continue to just trash these unused embryos! So instead of just destroying them and throwing them out, why not use them for research?? It is ridiculous. I guarantee you every single (republican) opponent of this bill would do a complete 180 if they were stricken with parkinson's or their spouse was stricken with alzheimer's. Think about it.

Okay, that's my opinion. Feel free to comment if you like...
