Pope Denounces Some Biotech as Affront to 'Human Dignity'
eldavojohn writes "Today in a speech the pope denounced human cloning, embryonic stem cell research and artificial insemination, citing them as a violation of 'human dignity.' That said, the pope did 'appreciate and encourage' research on stem cells from non-embryonic cells in the human body. The pope encouraged the Vatican to be a leading voice in the philosophy and discussion of bioethics. 'Church teaching certainly cannot and must not weigh in on every novelty of science, but it has the task to reiterate the great values which are on the line and to propose to faithful and all men of good will ethical-moral principles and direction for new, important questions,' Benedict said."
"Unforuntately" they're turning to Islam?
Let me give you some advice d3ac0n. They're turning to the true Islam, not that of terrorists. Have you ever been in a mosque? It's a peaceful and relaxing place. These people find inner peace and work on their internal struggles, not really bothering others. Do Muslims go door to door trying to convert people? No they don't. Quit going on false stereotypes.
American Muslims are good and decent people. There's millions of them in America, and they're more educated than the average American. Don't compare them to dictatorships overseas. It's just as unfair to compare Christianity and American Christians to the narcoterrorists (also Christian) in South America.
