PP and terrorism
What an absolute joke – the minds aren’t there if Planned Parenthood seriously considers Feminists for Life, Eagle Forum and Americans United for Life among the “Anti-choice” organizations that are listed under the Heading “Terrorists and Extremists.” Okay Feminists for Life (mottos: “Refuse to Choose,” “Question Abortion” and “A Woman Deserves Better”) goes around to … Continue reading
Follow the Money (embryos)
I can’t find any mention of actual funds allocated for the destruction of embryos in HB 810. However, the bill says that the Secretary of Health “shall conduct and support,” and “Human embryonic stem cells shall be eligible for use in any research” that meet the criteria of prior informed consent, being “in excess,” and … Continue reading
Next: funding for creation of embryos
Next will come the call for the purposeful creation of funding for disease-specific embryos. These embryonic humans are not dead. They were chosen and frozen because they looked promising for future attempts to fill the empty arms of their mothers and fathers. SB 810 authorizes the use of tax money to pay to thaw, nurture, … Continue reading

( Covered by LifeEthics last week.) It seems that Missouri legislators would not vote to approve embryonic stem cell research if the bill had the word “embryo” in … Continue reading

I am unabashedly human-centric and a human species-ist. Any other … Continue reading
Ethical correctness is not extreme
Besides abortion, destructive embryo research, and complete sexual freedom for teens, I wonder how many other moral issues are judged, “Regardless of its ethical correctness . . .”? As it is, I wouldn’t want someone that goes around acting “regardless of ethical correctness” for my doctor or even an employee. The ethical correctness is the … Continue reading
Human enough, no matter where or how
If I wanted to study disease through embryonic stem cell research, I’d imagine that I would want to study only those with the disease or susceptible to the development of the disease. How many of the chosen, frozen embryos are likely to be diseased? This is just one of the questions you need to ask … Continue reading

It played from the website, without additional software.
