Court Rules Against Stem Cell Policy

An anonymous reader sends this quote from Reuters: "A US district court issued a preliminary injunction Monday stopping federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research, in a slap to the Obama administration's new guidelines on the sensitive issue. The court ruled in favor of a suit filed in June by researchers who said human embryonic stem cell research involves the destruction of human embryos. Judge Royce Lamberth granted the injunction after finding that the lawsuit would likely succeed because the guidelines violated law banning the use of federal funds to destroy human embryos. '(Embryonic stem cell) research is clearly research in which an embryo is destroyed,' Lamberth wrote in a 15-page ruling."

Masturbation should be outlawed because the sperm cells would have a chance to become a real baby if they were given the chance. Instead, masturbation just kills them, destroying their life. Actually, any practice that wastes sperm or eggs and has no chance of producing a child should be outlawed.
