Hmm.. let's see. Americans wanting to protect innocent life in the womb and also protect innocent life outside the womb: hypocrites. Americans wanting to feed on the flesh of the unborn so they can prove whether or not it's of any use while actively supporting death cults like Hammas and Hezbollah: not hypocrites. Oh wait, I guess the left isn't hypocritical.
They're just pathologically selfish.
Why don't you go find yourself a Zionist Joooooooooo to spit on, arbo?

"Thousands of embryos are and have been routinely discarded from fertility clinics for years, and is the culture of life folks protesting that?"
The answer is yes, you ignorant twit.
The Catholic Church has been speaking out about this for decades. And about the misapplicaiton of the death penalty. And the bogus concept of Gay Marriage and the wrongness of the homosexual lifestyle, and the negative impact of porn and violence on our society.
Seems you haven't been paying attention to anything other thna your lefty mischaracterization of anything and anyone religious, except when you selectively filter it.
Hypocrite.

Folks I havea zero-tolerance policy for profanity, and so the first two comments to this thread--the first profane, the second quoting it--were deleted.
I know this is a particularly sensitive topic for many, but try to keep the language PG.
Thanks

Horrible. Just horrible. It's an innocent, unborn child. All the semen should be kept alive, as well.

To date, embryonic cell research has brought forth not one cure, and instead, is plagued with the problem of uncontrolled cell division.
Moral issues aside, that is without a doubt the single stupidest thing ever written in an attempt to attack scientific research.
No, CY, stem cells don't magically cure everything in the world just by being "applied to the head" - we have to actually do research and experimentation. But it's the most promising thing we've found so far. The alternative is sitting on our butts & waiting to die any time we catch any disease. I certainly hope you've never been vaccinated against anything, because that would break the fragile moral barrier yo've set up around this one topic.

Before the discovery of penicillin, research using molds and fungi had not brought forth a single cure. Did that mean that type of research should be abandoned?

The agrument, in my opinion, is about stem cells. Stem cell research is on going and is using both embryonic and adult stem cells. I understand there are currently more than 70 promising applications in process using adult stem cells. The CY post is only telling you there has been no promising breakthoughs using embryonic stem cells. Seems to me our money should go the stem cell research returning the greatest benefit to society, i.e.,adult stem cell researh

Wrong Dick.
Our money should go where research scientists think it can be of most use as is currently the case with every other type of research the government invests in.
We should leave the process in the hands of the experts rather than allowing politicians who are seeking to mobilize a certain segment of voters to override that process.

Hear, hear. And the experts are saying that embryonic cells have far greater potential than adult stem cells for treatments and possible cures. I'm tired of the all the ignorant second-guessing of scientists on the right when it comes to things like stem cells, climate change, air/water quality, DU contamination, evolution, you name it.

Its not all ignorant. Some doubters have advanced degrees in the sciences and engineering.
