Stem Cell Bill Passes in Australia

nickd writes "Having recently being passed in the Senate by only 2 votes, an Australian bill to overturn the ban on 'theraputic cloning' has now been passed in the House of Representatives by 82-62. The amendment that was seeking to prevent stem cells being extracted from the eggs of aborted late term female fetuses has also been voted down. The changes will allow scientists to create and use embryos up to 14 days old for research."

Re:Societal Degeneration From The Non-Christian Le

[Kazoo the Clown]

Even if Christians are correct, I find their deity morally reprehensible-- while their God may have the power to absolve sins, it would be immoral for me to accept such absolution. Might makes right is not a valid basis for morality-- even a Christian God must be subject to universal moral principles, else the basis of morality is whimsical. Consequently, God-- xtian or otherwise, can have no moral authority to absolve, as the concept itself is anti-moral.

So to answer your question, Yes, if the Christians are right, I will march off to Hell proudly. However, I expect that it is you who, allowed to enter the Christian Heaven, but without many of your loved ones who didn't believe, who will have found the true hell.
