Where the line? What if a scientist decides that parkinsons can be cured by harvesting cells from blonde headed two year olds, and your kid is blonde and 2? You gonna be all for federally funded research then? Don't laugh, you know how slippery the slope is. Look at how the country was duped and lied to and convinced that abortion was a good thing. I have already seen a story where a human embryo was put in a cow and allowed to grow some before having to be destroyed......there are many wanna be gods on this earth.

I would like to mention one other thing, not JUST to you , but seems as good a place to post as any. I see you are very concerned that medical research, even if it is at the expense of other life, is very important. You seem to have compassion for those suffering or in need of medical help. How many people in these United States feel as you do? I really wonder? With that in mind check out these stats!!!! optn.org In 2000 there were: 11,609 living and cadaveric organ donors;(over 5000 living) 22,853 lifesaving organ transplants; 79,346 registrations on the waiting list at the end of the year; and 5,508 people who died while waiting. How many people would you say live in the USA? Even allowing for the folks that cannot be organ donors for whatever reason, those stats are miserable.
