I can totally see where those who oppose this are coming from, as I said. What I was pointing out, though, is that many women in the US will abort their fetuses. As it is, those fetuses are then simply "disposed of" (excuse how blunt that sounds). That fetus was going to be killed regardless of what our country's stance on stem cell research is...why not use its stem cells, then? As I said, honor the embryo in such a way that it can provide life to another, despite not getting a chance at life itself.

With enough research, we won't even have to worry about it. For now, though, we have to get the cells from an embryo.
