But that would mean the religious crazies would have to stop worshipping the fetus. So they're against it.
Yep. Opposed to helping people. Because they're, you know, born already.

I wonder why would a UK company be applying to the US FDA? That seems odd. Doesn't the UK have their own regulations?
| Quote: | However, John Smeaton, director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, was completely opposed to the research.
He said: "It's a sick proposal. It involves cannibalising an unborn child.
"It's an unethical in every way - killing one member of the human race to help another. We are totally opposed to this." |
Fuck you, asshole. How about we cannibalize this son of a bitch? When are these pricks going to stop lying to their supporters that embryonic stem cell research involves killing a child? It involves making use of medical waste, a clump of cells willingly donated by couples that want it to be used to help other people. And killing one member of the human race to help millions of others? I suggest this moron, and I'd be glad to be the triggerman...even if it doesn't help out anybody else.

Cannibalism: the eating of human flesh by another human being.
When are these people going to come up with a new argument? Oh yea, that's right...they don't have one, so they are going to continue to misrepresent the facts to create the illusion of an argument. Next.

They take strawmen arguments to new heights. Stem cell research=encouraging abortions=murdering babies. Guess it makes sense since all the scientists and stem cell proponents are just devil worshipping, baby eating evil atheists anyway. Yeah, we're the untrustworthy ones, and they're the moral ones.

Not that I believe, but isn't Jesus credited with saying, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for another"?
So wouldn't the fetuses become, you know, martyrs? Which the church regards as a good thing?
I'm just askin'.

With the concept of original sin, biblically speaking, one could make a case for the fetuses going straight to hell.
But that sort of contradicts the reason for religion (comfort when facing death) so theologians have twisted their way around that one with the so-called "age of accountability".

Old story, but, nonetheless,
Behold St. Foetus.
