Scientists Create New Human Embryonic Stem Cell

Homework Help writes "U.S. scientists were successful in creating a new human embryonic stem cell. From source, "U.S. researchers said on Monday they have created a new human embryonic stem cell by fusing an embryonic stem cell to an ordinary skin cell. They hope their method could someday provide a way to create tailor-made medical treatments without having to start from scratch using cloning technology. That would mean generating the valuable cells without using a human egg, and without creating a human embryo, which some people, including President George W. Bush, find objectionable. ""

You're dead on spot, it has nothing to do with religion.

It has to do with lack of education/information.

No it's not prejudice because I have a very good reason.
I hate Christians because they're idiots. They blindly worship a book for no reason other then the previous generation of idiots worshiped it. Christians are small minded people that fear change and see progress as an attack on their values.
Besides if God is such a big fan of free will then why is he always smiting and condemning everyone that disagrees with him?
Basically you can have free will as long as you make the right choice; other wise your burning at the stake as a heretic.

No, that's the conclusion i reached after familiarizing myself with a few _facts_, that's why i suggest that everyone else should at least get detailed information on the subject.

It's the difference between "i can't decide the question because of lack of information" vs. "Oh, you mean i should be worried about the ethical repecussions of using already dead embryos (from artificial impregnation for example) with less complexity than most animals posess?! Should i be worried about the few million of sperm cells a normal male "murders" every two weeks then too?"
