Princeton University professor Robert George gave great talking points about embryonic stem cell experimentation during a lecture last week at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, according to Towers Online, Feb. 15, the most important being:
"The fact that... embryonic stem cells probably will not prove to be the therapeutic miracle that they have been hyped to be isn't fundamentally the reason we should be opposed to the use of those cells..... The reason we should be opposed is a moral reason. [Embryonic stem cell research] involves, at least for now, the destruction of innocent human life to obtain the cells."
The fact is, someday escr researchers will get somewhere. The two fundametal talking points are, according to George: 1) the definition of human being; and 2) respect owed embryos.
The article, not long, is worth reading.
