I favor stem cell research.
I oppose murdering innocent human beings.
Therefore, I favor non-lethal (read "non-embryonic") stem cell research.
My views are not that important except that, as stated above, they are shared by millions. If we do not make this distinction between destructive and non-destructive, we run the risk of being perceived by the ignorant as opposing progress. And the ignorant vote.
You are correct, Lexinom.
We need to write letters to editors in our home town newspapers distinguishing the difference between ADULT stem cells and EMBRYONIC stem cells. We also need to state that EMBRYONIC stem cells have not ever helped anyone, but that ADULT stems cells have helped so many.
