Unnwanted babies increase by 60%! Women, you are the ones ultimately in control. Don't have sex unless you are married and ready to have a child. If you love a man and marry him, you will figure out how to enjoy sex with him. We don't have to take each other for "trial runs" to make sure we are sexually compatible. If you do wind up with an "unwanted" child, it is your responsibility to care for her/him with everything you have, regardless of the callousness of the man who got you pregnant.

Last Post on SCNT Research Most importantly, I believe scientists have lost their minds and morals and we are all in danger of falling victim to their next experiment "for the greater good of mankind". The Nazis did exactly that & we still don't consider them humanitarians 60 years later.

Are you going to leave it to others?
The question we have to ask ourselves as human beings is where are we going to go with all of the scientific research that is here today and what is coming down the road? I challenge all you decent people who are reading this article to challenge other decent people to open their eyes, accept the fact that we have a lot of work to do, and encourage them to participate in what is required in order for decent human beings to stop the scientific madness that is going on in America.

I'm the culture of death? Human beings should not have to be killed to lesson your suffering. Living human beings are unique organisms with unique DNA. At the moment of conception a person is created. Nobody has the right to step in and kill a living human being. Zygote, embryo, fetus, toddler, infant, teenager and adult are all descriptions of human stages of growth. If it is permissable for you to take the live of a person in the early stages of growth in the womb, then why not in the later stages of life?
