Worthy News: Despite Bush Veto Threat, Congress to Take Up Stem Cell B

God gave us guns and nuclear weapons also. Does that mean we would be offending God somehow by not using them? Some of you should rethink this. God gave the scientists the intelegence to created biological weapons but that doesn't mean they the weapons themselves are go, so neither should we consider invetro fertilization different. It's not what we create or discover that is the test, its how we react to or use this knowlege that is the test.

We're talking about curing people here not blowing them to smitherines. I do agree they should start spending less on WMDs and the military industrial complex though; they should take some of those billions and use them for medical research. Do something to help people for a change.

You are comparing apples to oranges. THere is a huge difference in helping a couple conceive a child, and building mass weapons to kill the entire human population.

Our military spending has helped numerous people. Our military Freed us from England. It kept us free from Europe. It ended slavery in this country thus effectively ending legal slavery in the entire world. It freed Europe from Germany twice. It kept the world from being dominated by the U.S.S.R. It kept South Korea free. It has kept Japan free from China. It freed the Kurds for Hussein who had been killing them by the thousands. etc. etc.

I guess all that was just wasted money. It should have been spent helping people.

I'm a veteran; I'm all for defending ourselves. I think you know exactly what I'm referring to but just chose to take my words and run with them to the extreme. -- A picture is worth a thousand words though [link]

MrCory I'm glad somebody "gets it".

[billie]

what happened to " before i placed you in your mother's womb, i knew you"? if i'm misquoting, please correct me. are some of you actually saying that you think life doesn't begin at conception? or are those babies just "acceptable losses"? if you say life doesn't begin at conception, then just what day or hour does it begin? and who decideas that? some guy in a labcoat who's never even cracked a bible much les known intimately the giver of life? did you know by the fourth month of pregnancy babies can dream? when do those kinds of things start for them? this is the reason abortion was legalized in the first place: compromise.

[billie]

by the way, what exactly do they do during in-vitro fertilization?

Your whole argument was based on the notion that if God gave man the ability to do something it must be ok, and clearly that is not the case.

You are misquoting me. I never said that ALL Things that man can do is ok by God. I said that God gave us dr's and those dr's use their brains to help the human race. There's a big difference in helping a couple have a baby and making a bomb. In the past 100 years we have seen medicine come so far it is totally mind boggling. We have also seen the military make some impressive tools for war. But I am not advocating war, I am however, advocating helping the human race. And to tell you the truth, I bet "most" not all but "most" Christians would go for invetro fertilization. Which is a miracle in and of itself, if they couldn't conceive and really wanted a child. There is absolutely nothing wrong in aiding them to have a baby.

in Him;
