I guess I am so touchy with the whole situation because my parents had me when they were pretty young - high school young, and they could have easily had an abortion and had a "normal" life like everyone else. I just can not endorse the termination of any kind of grouping of cells that can one day become a human being, because we're talking about lives here, that never got the chance to even be born. While, at least these cells are furthering human advancements so in the end it could be helping other people's lives, I still can not be supporting a death sentence.

It's nice to see that you realize one of the reasons you're so touchy about the topic. As for all those "people" who have been "sentenced to death" in the doctor's office, how do you think they feel? Oh, that's right! They don't feel anything!
You can be thankful that you were allowed to develop, but all you're doing is extending your own fear of dying to an entity (I use the term loosely) that never lived...that never had a thought, feeling, or even a useful purpose, beyond donating cells to potentially save
real lives.
