I think the thing that I have the hardest time dealing with here at Pet Talk is the extraordinary measures that people will go to for pets who are in such fragile states from abuse and such (and I am not minimizing this nor am I in disagreement). The thing that amazes me is that when we are dealing with a human life at its most fragile we are so quick to say “it’s only a few cells.” It is not. It is a beating heart!

I don't think life should be created to be destroyed. I can understand those who would like this research to continue but I do not believe that killing the innocent to accomplish this is morally correct. I know the flames will come, and if they do so be it. Be aware that once the young and innocent are no longer vauable in a society the next will be the elderly and infirm. There is much to this debate and I won't get involved as I am not really an argumentative person. My heart bleeds for this country and the path it will go down if John Kerry should be elected. End of rant.
I agree with you Pam 100%. I also do not want to start an arguement, but i would like to state my views without offending anyone.

I am Pro-Life. I can not concieve the idea of killing a baby before its born simply because the mother didn't want it or something to that extent. As for a person being raped, I do not believe a person should punish the baby for someone elses evil deed. I know with all my heart that if I was raped and I got pregnant I would NEVER have an abortion, that is something my heart is set upon. Also, if I was a mother and my life was at risk because of the baby inside of me, and I had the choice to abort the baby to save my life I would NOT do it. I can not justify killing a innocent baby to save myself. If that is the way that I would die then I would die that way, because I can not, and would not kill a baby so that I could live.

I do not know the whole scoop on stem cell research, so I will not comment on it, as I do not know a whole lot on it.

I can understand how people love animals, but to put them before a human life, an innocent baby's life, to get upset over the horrible crimes against animals, but that killing a baby just rolls off their back, that saddens me deeply.

I did not and do not intend to offend or upset anyone, JMHO.
