I really don't have an opinion on stem cell research due to the fact that I do not know much about it. I'm just throwing out a problem here--What would happen when the population grows above our food sources due to the life that stem cell procedures save?

There's many ways we can use aborted fetuses, you're just not being creative enough. They are excellent for scientific reasearch, vastly superior teaching aids in high school science and biology classes, they can be sold to the Vietnamese (and Koreans) and we can tap that lucrative cannibal market.[/quote:8f740]I really hope you just forgot to put in the sarcasm brackets...if not, you're one sick motherfucker.[/quote:8f740]

We'll probably move to some other planet.

I heard that babies taste like chicken, so I'll probably save myself a few bucks if I just buy a chicken.

Great point. Regardless of lives saved or anything short of Nuclear devistation we can expect to see mankind "out-grow" the worlds food production abillity before the end of the millenium.

Very cool tool: http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html

Now hit refresh a few times and watch the world population. This is real time mind you.

We must begin working towards the colonization of other planets and outside of our solar system.

First, I know that egg thing was stupid, but hell, wasn't it like 2 in the morning man, I was out of it. Forgive me.

[quote="The Frenchman":6a5bc][quote="Pick Axe":6a5bc]
[quote:6a5bc]I'm pretty sure you dropped a couple living organisms when you took a shit last night.[/quote:6a5bc]

There is a huge difference between a living "organism" and a living "being". The microbes in my shit are not intelligent life forms.

So this "life is sacred" mindset of yours is a selective process? You can choose what you want to live, and kill the rest. What a sweet fucking deal you made yourself.

[quote:6a5bc] It's the woman's body, and it's the woman's money. We could use those aborted fetuses for scientific research too.[/quote:6a5bc]

It is NOT her body, dammit. It is a living being. As far as money goes, we have wellfare and shit, and she could always have the child adopted, which would not only save a life, but there are tons of couples out there waiting for a child to adopt.

How the bitch got knocked up is irrelevent. She was given the ability to create life, and she can take it back. A living being the fetus is, of course, but so is a malignant tumour. Yet you want those gone straight-away. Fuck this pro-life bullshit, if it's one less mouth my taxes has to feed, then let it happen. Couples who are unable to have children of their own can adopt a troubled teenager for all I care. Shit, skip the changing diapar phase altogether.
[/quote:6a5bc]

Pick-axe, when you've gone through labour pains, tried to raise a couple kids in a one bedroom apartment being paid for with your minimum wage job at Wegman's, then I'll be happy to listen to what you have to say about abortion.[/quote:6a5bc]

How can you compare a fucking tumor to a fetus? I just can't see a single simmularity. Human life does not compare to anything else on our planet. No, i don't hold protazoans on the same level. Nor anything else for that matter. But, I'm not saying it's my right to go out and kill something just for the hell of it, because it's "sub-human". Human life is "sacred". And I believe we should protect it.

well cells have working inner organs called "organelles" that work like the fetuses organs. * note also neither are centient" (did i spell that right), the truth is they are both in ways similar. besides stem cell usually does not involve dead large fetuses....

A baby in the womb can be centient.
