Good comments...

Comment by Richard Dawkins...

It is possible to justify civilian casualties of war, if you can make a good ‘lesser of two evils’ case. In Donald Rumsfeld’s charming phraseology, ‘stuff happens’: civilian deaths are ‘collateral damage.’ In this article, I shall compare two kinds of collateral damage – civilians as casualties of war, and embryos as casualties of stem cell research – demonstrating the hypocrisy of those who happily condone the first while vetoing the second. It is worse than hypocrisy, because of the grotesque inequality in suffering caused by the two cases.

and this should be enough...

It's one thing to read about the wonders of stem cells, but it's another thing entirely to see a movie that demonstrates their power.Video
shows two mice, each with a spinal cord injury. The first mouse was untreated, and drags its feet around pathetically. The second mouse was given stem cell treatment and miraculously hops around. Amazing stuff, and this is just the beginning.
