The
Issue Of Embryonic Stem Cell
Research
It
is not about what can or cannot be accomplished.

And
shed innocent blood, even the blood of their
sons and of their daughters, whom they
sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the
land was polluted with blood. …Psalm
106:38 KJV

The issue of embryonic stem
cell research, which all too often gets lost, is
that it does not matter if the entire human race
could have cures for all that ails them by using
these stem cells.
No matter what the
outcome of such research could be, it simply is
barbaric to create a life in order to take that
life's cells, which would have grown into that
life's body parts. It is quite literally
harvesting body parts from live human beings. It
is harvesting because the life has to be created
and taken at just the right time to pick those
stem cells, before they actually turn into the
baby's body parts.
The scientific
definition of life is when one, two, or all
three of the following are present; cell growth,
cell division, and or cell multiplication.
Hence, there is life at conception, and that
life is human.
Now, on the issue of adult
stem cell research, much has been accomplished
for decades. Many do not realize that all stems
cells that are not embryonic stem cells are in
fact, adult stem cells. This includes umbilical
cord stem cells, which there are plenty
of.
The U.S. Constitution
upholds the rights laid out in the Declaration
of Independents, one of, which is a right to
life. Our founding fathers declared the time
that they signed it, "The year of the
Independence of the United States of America."

If my people, which are called
by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their wicked
ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their
land. ...2 Chronicles
7:14
May God help this
nation.
