All I have to say on the subject is that if something like that would be condoned- where would it end?
Scientific frontiers when it comes to human subject matter needs to be regulated and thought through thoroughly. As we all know, the law can be interpretted in many different ways and legislation can evolve dramitically from one somewhat unsimple decision.
I am not a religious person and am very scientific; and from what I have read it seems that there is no evidence that any new stemcells would prove any different than the ones available at this time.
Morality and mortality seem to be of most concern. I favor to look at the big picture. But I would hope that we- humans, as a race among many in this world, would conduct our knowledge and practice in respect of nature. Nature is reality and sometimes it sucks but that is the way it works. I am not in favor of some of the fertility treatments either, you know that we just reached 300mil, and there are many little african children without parents (
).
It's funny (odd, not funny haha), that those who are against imperialism in almost every aspect, if not indeed every aspect, can be imperilous in
this matter.
In the future we will become faced with many more decisions that effect our conscience. Conscience not con-science**, if you will. As one of the most prestigous countries in the world I hope that the US influences the rest of the world on our debate and care in such decisions.
** I just made that up. Bumper stickers coming soon.
