If you believe it is murdering babies, will you use the treatments that are eventually derived from it for yourself or your loved ones, or will you refuse such treatments on moral grounds?
Will you use medical treatments derived from stem cell research?
Because research on embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a living human being, it is against God’s will. No amount of promised “benefit” to society or to medical knowledge can justify the killing of a human for spare parts. The end does not justify the means. It is never ethical—in fact, it is morally reprehensible—to mark people for death in order to conduct utilitarian experiments on their body parts.
In contrast, research on adult stem cells does not require the loss of life. adult stem cells have versatility and a proven track record, and they lack the moral difficulties of embryonic stem cells. Therefore, we believe that research on adult stem cells is a legitimate field of study, well within the will of God.
Reply:Not all stem cell research involves "murdering babies" so my answer is YES. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and I suffer every day of my life with chronic pain from a damaged nerve in my back. I am only 33 years old and have a long life ahead of me. If stem cell research can make my life (and the lives of many millions of others as well) better, then I am all for it.
Reply:And since invitro fertilization destroys zygotes on a daily basis, they should protest the clinics and never EVER get artificial insemination.
Reply:It's not murdering anyone. I would gladly use it if it helps curing me, my beloved ones and anyone in need for treatment. A life that is already here should be taken care for far more than a one that hasn't completely formed.
Reply:I would absolutely use stem cell research for my medical condition if it gets worse (my spleen is killing off my platelets), but let me say that I would only use adult stem cell research because those are fully formed and functional without having to sift through everything first. Embryonic stem cells are open for research today by private companies, but no private companies are willing to spend that much money when adult stem cells are ready and better
Reply:Stem cell? Yes. Embryonic stem cell? No.
Reply:if it was life or death decision yes
