It is amazing how black and white people on both sides of arguments try to make the issue at hand.

It's a very complex issue. Not all people who oppose embryonic stem cell research...or rather the federal funding of it, do so for the same reasons. Opposition is not always rooted in religious beliefs.

I have seen an astounding number of reports that say embryonic stem cell research has produced virtually nothing and that the real fruit of stem cells lies in the research being done on 'adult' stem cells. Yet, I've seen an equal number of reports that say the exact opposite. Anyone want to take a guess at how that is possible?

Many opponents use the slippery slope argument to oppose SRC. I don't buy those arguments in this case, but I understand them. They're not craszy or sick. They just don't have much faith in humanity. Frankly, who can blame them.

But lets blame religion...it's so cut and dry.
