As to God's gift !! blah, blah, blah .. sorry you speaking to an Atheist here Bullseye .. so religious bull does not sit well with me. If you believe we have been given the gift to work through these problems, then seems to me that this is what we are applying..the gift of the wonderment of science .. only way forward.
Are there any lines that you wouldn't cross? Any guardrails that you wouldn't drive through?

It is not necessary to destroy life in order to save it. This imperative that the cells used MUST be fetal.

Well, gee, I never would have guessed that you were an atheist.

Of course, there are lines that I would not like to cross Bullseyebarb, however, in this particular issue, do not view it in any sense that we are destroying life in order to save it ! No possible life here to save. Just because I am an Atheist does not make me a non-lover of my fellow humans ...

Sure lots of 'God-believing' people feel the same way as I do.

Re: MPs Allow 'Frankenstein' Embryos
I have no religious beliefs and support stem cell research. I also think the abortion period should be reduced to 20 or 22 weeks because I do believe in rights of the child. I don't however believe in rights of a cell younger than 14 days old that can be used to save other already existing, suffering, humans.
