There are very few cases where I would find them morally acceptable, and I am not of a mind to say "Well people are doing it so we might as well use them for research.".

They don't take them from mothers. I don't know where your getting this from. Abortions are not a easy thing for woman to have, I wish we had a woman in here she could explain it better than I could ever wish too. Simply put its a very emotional and physical ordeal.

Everyone who opposes stem cell research really needs to do some research on the topic before they talk about it. The stem cells come from embryos that would be discarded after a couple has been successfully (or unsuccessfully) fertilized through in utero fertilization. They are just going to be thrown away.

In other words, they are 'spares' that people make in case the embryo they have implanted doesn't work. So these embryos would either A) be thrown away or B) used for stem cell research.

It is too hard of a decision for me to make. eerk. Dude, there is an almost infinite span between "potential life" and "life". Taken from that stance, every time you masterbate, you are killing literally MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of "potential" human beings. Its a damn near genocide every time you log into your favorite porn site. If we started looking at objects for only their potential, then we would be too afraid to create or destroy anthing, and we'd lay on our backs until we died. That approach doesnt work, and to claim you know how the procedure works, then to say "they create life, then destroy it for the purpose of reasearch" is laughably rediculous. Everyone i've talked to who is against it either does not understand the procedure, or is too hellbent on the catholic definition of "life". Unregistered 11-03-2004, 06:26 PM This type of abortion had been performed many times up untill the partial-birth abortion act passed in 2003 I dated a girl that had a abortion. The reason I found out was because I was telling her how I thought most people that had abortions just were not careful. And gave several examples of friends. She got real quiet and said, "I don't think this is going to work out." She then told me she had a abortion. Didn't go into it much with her and out of respect I won't say everything she told me. But needless to say she was scarred about it emotionally till this day. Also she informed how it was just that, an accident. And she was on the pill when it happened. She didn't have a partial-birth abortion but I assure you no women wants to go through that event, unless its needed. And so I still strongly disagree with passing laws, including partial-birth abortion act passed in 2003, since it usually used for the right reasons. On top of that this is usually a religious thing not a moral thing. -Edit- I apologized endlessly about that. And since then I usually don't make comments unless I have experienced what Im talking about. Oh and we broke up concerning other reasons about six months after that. sloppyjoe 11-03-2004, 07:38 PM Almost all of the embryos they use are from fertility clinics.

"They create life-- then they destroy it in the name of research." -- Sorry this pissed everyone off so much, but I did not intend for it to be such a strong statement. Regardless the statement is true if applied to stem cell research and whether the life was created in a fertility clinic or a research lab is irrelevant. It might be very vague and harsh sounding but that is the name of the game. The current rules put in place by the Clinton administration allow stem-cell research using embryos if the work is funded by private money and the embryos come from fertility clinics and would otherwise be discarded. And I don't have a problem with that. In fact I agree that they should be used for research rather than wasted. I think the problem starts with the fertility clinics. They need to stop producing such a massive surplus of embryos. But that is another issue for another time. And if you think the only option for these embryos is destruction through either stem-cell research, or by the clinics producing them then you are the one who is wrong. The reason the clinics destroy them is because 1: they produce too many and 2: the would be mothers of these embyos will not let them be adopted by another family; wich is a viable option. Again, this is a very important issue to me and I am well informed on it, but I am also torn between morality and the benefits it could posses for my family and others like it. sloppyjoe 11-03-2004, 07:47 PM I dated a girl that had a abortion.

I'm heading down to visit my parents in So Cal tomorrow. Carlsbad to be exact. -Chris I live in Garden Grove, it is about 6 miles north east of Huntington Beach. Its funny because I am actually heading up to Nor Cal today. I am self imployed and have a shop in Stockton as well as down here in Fountain Valley and it requires me to be on the road a lot. We should try and figure something out though. I have not played Halo since I moved down south last year. bassplayrr 11-04-2004, 11:45 AM What shop(s) do you own? I'll try and give you some business. :) -Chris scoobsport98 11-04-2004, 10:52 PM Well stem cell research is wrong but killing over 100,000 iraqi's to get rid of (ghost) WMD's is morally "right". (pun intended) good point... that does seem quite hypocritical SilverScoober02 11-05-2004, 10:09 AM good point... that does seem quite hypocritical Well they are Iraqi's and they don't matter as much. :rolleyes: wssboard18 11-05-2004, 06:01 PM I dated a girl that had a abortion. The reason I found out was because I was telling her how I thought most people that had abortions just were not careful. And gave several examples of friends. She got real quiet and said, "I don't think this is going to work out." She then told me she had a abortion. Didn't go into it much with her and out of respect I won't say everything she told me. But needless to say she was scarred about it emotionally till this day. Also she informed how it was just that, an accident. And she was on the pill when it happened. She didn't have a partial-birth abortion but I assure you no women wants to go through that event, unless its needed. And so I still strongly disagree with passing laws, including partial-birth abortion act passed in 2003, since it usually used for the right reasons. On top of that this is usually a religious thing not a moral thing. -Edit- I apologized endlessly about that. And since then I usually don't make comments unless I have experienced what Im talking about. Oh and we broke up concerning other reasons about six months after that. I am not directing this towards you, but your coments sparked my intrest. Getting pregnant is not an accident htere is always a choice to have sex or not (except rape victims) and if you can't handle the results of your choices then don't have sex. It s called responsability!! There is also the option of putting the kid up for adoption too.

It s called responsability!! There is also the option of putting the kid up for adoption too. Oh come on. Be realistic here, do you expect your kids not to have sex? I didn't bother asking if her boyfriend wore a condom but she was a very careful girl, ie on the pill etc... She was not in a position in her life to have a child. She was a student and so was he. What do you expect her to do to bear a child for 9 months while going to school, then suffer through the emotional pain of a adoption. And if she decide to keep it instead of put it up for adoption she and her boyfriend at the time would of had to leave school. On top of all this the chances of the guy leaving her and having her take care of the child on her own would mean she would be screwed even more. Its not like she "loved" this guy. I personaly think she made the right choice. EricDaRed81 11-05-2004, 06:26 PM I am not directing this towards you, but your coments sparked my intrest.

They will either complain about how they had an abortion or how they now have a welfare baby that their tax dollars have to support. So either way when looked at with "red" glasses it's wrong. wssboard18 11-06-2004, 10:21 AM Oh come on. Be realistic here, do you expect your kids not to have sex?

I personaly think she made the right choice. Thats why you teach your kids responsability. You need to be accountable for your actions and not just go around killing unborn babies and blaming others for your actions. This society now aday has become one that is so quick to push blame on others and not be accountable for their own actions, which is one of the reasons for all of these crazy law suits and debt in this country. I too am to blame for this, i realize that sometimes i take the easy way out or blame others for my actions. Unregistered 11-06-2004, 02:39 PM But you have to understand if she did have the baby, like ericdared81 said, she would of been stuck in a position where the child would of suffered. Also you have the debate when is it a child and when is it not? I personally think people don't just use abortions as birth control. Of course some might randomly do this but i doubt it, but they are in the minority. If you had her take "responsibilty" for a mistake then you would also have to take responsibilty for actions you have done in the past that where mistakes. Mistakes are just that mistakes, if the best solution is a abortion, then why not? Of course in all my years of life I have not met one person to have there mind changed by this argument. Shrug.

VIBEELEVEN 11-15-2004, 11:44 AM Ok, how about we have a Halo party somewhere. That sounds nerdy, huh. yeah, but if you think about it , a bunch of guys sitting in front of a computer talking about cars is pretty nerdy too, at least it's not dungeons and dragons. Wich reminds me of the people I saw wearing costumes when I went to see lord of the rings. |
