My 13 year old son has Type 1 diabetes. Having a chronically ill child has, if anything, increased my belief in the sanctity of human life. Unfortunately, the major diabetes charities have been taken over by the embryo research fanatics. The focus on embryonic stem cells is tragically diverting attention and money from other areas of research -- like adult stem cell therapies -- that are far more promising and do not destroy life.
My prayers for your son.
Robert P. George is a great man and an extraordinary teacher. God knows how he ever got a job at Princeton in these days of political correctness.
If I could die to save an embryo - guaranteed - I may well do it. Is that an inflammatory statement? Why then, do we talk so casually about killing embryos for ourselves?
The ones demanding other people die for them are, imho, those least worth dying for. The very fact they demand death for their lives nullifies their own worthiness.
I WILL NEVER, EVER ACCEPT TREATMENT THAT HAS RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. PERIOD. EVEN IF IT MEANS MY OWN LIFE. If others feel this way, we need to start a national "Stop the killing" registry. I'm sick and tired to the point of rage of hearing the left-wing ads here in WA state about "The Republican wants to scale back embryonic stem cell research", as though that were a BAD thing. NO!!! That's a GOOD THING! Life is a good thing.
Sorry, I feel passionately about this matter, enough to die for it.
