Worthy News: Cloning human embryos becomes 'constitutional right&#

[George]

A ballot initiative in Missouri written to enshrine in the state constitution the right to clone human embryos for "research" was approved by voters by a single percentage point, and pro-life organizations have said they expect a court challenge to the plan.

This is so sick..I cannot comprehend allowing such evil...

I cannot comprehend even thinking about doing it..

If evangelicals oppose the destruction of tiny, microscopic, embryos then they should stop condoning invitro-fertilization. Unfortunately this is just more hypocrisy because when God blesses evangelicals with a barren womb they head to the fertility doctor just like everybody else. They'll relegate 20 embryos to the "medical waste" pile in an effort to get one baby. It's no wonder they're losing any influence over those Christians who have children that may eventually benefit from this research.

Research takes time and money, Rome wasn't built in a day, we've only been able to fly for 100 years. Lots of things that were once considered to be impossible have come to pass. Embryonic stem-cell research, adult and cord stem-cell research are areas in which we may see the impossible come to pass once again.....cures. I'm sure pharmaseudical companies do not want to see this happen because they're in the business of treatment not cures; treatment is how they make their money. Just as car companies attempt to squash any car that doesn't require them I have the utmost confidence that pharmaseudical companies will do everything within their power to prevent cures (even if they're found) from finding their way to the public market. But it'll happen because unlike a car, people die.... so the general public would exact an enormous punishment if cures were known but not made available to the public.

Therapudic cloning is not reproductive cloning. With therapeudic cloning a person's own genetics could be matched so that you wouldn't have to pray that somebody die (like in a car wreck) so you or a loved one can get their organs, then take anti-rejection drugs day after day for years to survive. With therpeudic cloning you could get your own organ matched to your own body; it is not growing a whole person then harvesting them.

If you oppose embryonic stem-cell research then you should oppose invitro-fertilization and tell people why when they're contemplating invitro fertilization (see how fast you tick them off); you should encourage your pastor to preach against invitro-fertilization (see how fast the collection plate dries up) and don't get it yourself if you find yourself wanting a baby but unable to reproduce without the help of a medical doctor using a scientific procedure (see how quick you change your tune then). And last but not least, if cures are found against your objections, don't get them for yourself or a loved one then, pray that God call you home for your reward instead (in other words, don't be a hypocrit).

HELLO,

Does Missouri have sleeping Christians??? Shame on you who didn't get out and vote!!!

How aweful

there better be an appeal to this!!

I've always wondered, if man tried to do this, God would be under not obligation to give the poor thing a spirit-what would be in the poor little thing.

No worries...I won't ....

It is amazing how we want cures for all the diseases caused by our sinful behaviours..

and we will go to all lengths, even to the destruction of our own offspring, to heal us from it rather than to repent and ask God for our healing....

I think the Christians of the state did get out and vote, in large numbers. God gives people common sense and they used it in the voting booth.

Your last sentence doesn't make any sense to me. What were you trying to say there?

My child has a fatal disease; he's done NOTHING sinful to bring it on himself. I've got friends who've watched an 11 yr old, and two 4 yr olds die from lukemia. You think those poor babies deserved to get that?

You know what, even adults who may have brought disease on themselves deserve a break if it's available. Nobody leads a perfect life (cept for maybe you tah); everybody makes mistakes and sometimes those mistakes harm ones body. If a cure is found those people should be able to get them too along with everybody else. There's nothing wrong with helping people when you can do it.

People need to put a little more thought into what they say sometimes.

This sickens me. How disgusting. And yes I agree invito fertilization is just as disgusting. My wife and I tried for 8 years to have a child. We went to a fertility Dr. Who happened to be a wonderful Christian Catholic. Invito fertilization was never a consideration. Missouri always surprises me, but unfortunately Kansas is getting just as bad.

God protect us,

I disagree with you Kansas Dad but at least you're not a hypocrit. It's the ones who get invitro then preach against using the left-overs that really infuriate me.

I am sorry you are experiening such sorrows...

but killing another child is not an excuse to save one..

If I have a choice to save a child at the sacrifice of another I would not choose to kill one...

God will decide who lives and who dies in my life......
