IIRC that is the essence of the onfusion. And it should not escape our attention that the ones writing the articles WANT embryos harvested for their body parts and will deceive the public any chance they get to do so. The process of taking an adult cell and essentially reversing the differentiation process until a branching point allow the researcher to take the development of stem cells along a line which is the target has been obfuscated to fit the agenda of the dead souls who demand the sacrificial harvesting of embryos regardless of the ability to reverse the differentiation process then bring it forawrd again along lines desired for therapies.

When I wrote and offered on line that little book on stem cells and cloning back in 2000, I actually had people contacting me to ask questions designed to blur the morality, the right and wrongness. One contacted me via freepmail to ask if the brain were prevented from developing in an embryonic gestation, would I see the harvesting of such an organism's body parts as morally acceptable since the organism could never develop into a human child. The questionaer became insensed that I kept pointing back to the immoral intervention in order to create this 'less than human' fetus for harvesting. I had what purported to be a physician call me from OKlahoma (or was it Nebraska?) and offer a minor correction to my terminology, then start berating me for injecting morality into scientific issues! When I asked if the person I was talking to did therapeutic abortions, he slammed the phone down without answering.

The last ones to realize they are serving the father of lies who is a murderer from the start are the ones being deceived into the service. They will not allow Truth (read the God of the Bible) to threaten their comfy worldview, but that is precisely what The Holy Spirit does in order to bring one to a point of Salvation offered to them.

When I read about the caller accusing you of injecting morality into a scientific question...I had a flash-back to some politically correct t.v. show or movie or some such...where protagonist is respected as being a moral authority because....after all..."he is a scientist".

But my own layman's perception is that bad morals makes bad science. Not just in questions of medical ethics...but in terms of simple accuracy. I think its a harsh moral challenge to be willing to toss away years of hard work on a theory just because the evidence has turned against it...and then humbly adjust your thinking and carry on...especially when it means giving up the funding that might be politically motivated...and of course risking your career and reputation among other researchers who are less willing to follow the evidence....but thank God for those who were moral enough (as well as bright and hard working enough) to make real progress!
