Now it's fine if you don't beleive that an embryo isn't a human. Super. But for the sake of not starting a major civil war over it, how about the scientists just extract the cells a different way. There is no right or wrong answer and it's not necessarily a religious one. SO how about we agree to disagree, and find a different way to get the cells to do the research. That way we're all satisfied. Or is that too much common sense for the scientists? Is it more about being right than about finding cures?

Because other methods are less effective/efficient/convenient/cheap/whatever other reason there might be. I don't actually know much about it, or what alternatives there are available, but if it was just as easy to go about it a different way that won't upset the naysayers, I'm sure they would go for it.
