What you've read in the media is very biased. I've spent time with the researchers.<BR/><BR/>My question to you is "How can God condone war or killing of innocent human beings who are already alive?" <BR/><BR/>My moral code is written in my heart, not on the pages of a Christian Bible that has been altered so much through the years that it doesn't reflect the true teachings of Jesus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528955027208100034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33557474.post-63261215661920333982009-03-24T09:58:00.000-05:002009-03-24T09:58:00.000-05:00Hi, Yvonne.I just happened to run across your blog...Hi, Yvonne.<BR/><BR/>I just happened to run across your blog, and I had some questions that I can't quite reconcile with what you have written here; maybe you can help me. It could be that this is simply outdated information. After all, you posted this in November 2007, and it is now almost April 2009. Anyway, here goes:<BR/><BR/>First of all, it was my understanding that President Bush vetoed <B>Embryonic</B> Stem Cell Research <I>only</I>, not <I>all</I> Stem Cell Research, as your article may lead some readers to mistakenly believe.<BR/><BR/><BR/>In addition, I had never heard that a mistake had been made in the terminology for these stem cells, and I was hoping you could share your reference information for that with me, if you still have it. This is so surprising to me because the word blastocyst, comes from the word blastula meaning "early stage of an <B>embryo</B> produced by cleavage of an ovum." The word blastocyst, a noun, literally means "the <B>embryo</B> of a mammal in which a cellular and structural adaptation has taken place." At any rate, both these words: blastocyst and blastula, refer to <B>embryos</B>, which are by definition, <B>the early stages of growth</B> or in other words: life, babies, tiny humans. What could be an <I>earlier</I> stage of growth than those <I>tiny</I> <B> embryos</B>?<BR/><BR/>Next, it is my understanding that to date, there still <I>have not been any </I> treatments or cures with <B>Embryonic</B> Stem Cell Research, but with <I>Adult</I> Stem Cell Research, there have been <I>over sixty-nine</I> treatments and cures. Plus, with <I>Embryonic</I> Stem Cell Research, they want to create human clones to harvest their stem cells and use for experimentation--very scary stuff! <BR/><BR/>Finally, I can't imagine how you could have interpreted that God would condone the taking of <I>any</I> innocent life through reading that particular passage of scripture, but for your sake, I hope you're right. As you well know from reading his scriptures, he doesn't take kindly to having His flocks led astray. I'm sure you must have seen that in the Scriptures countless times, just as I did.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, here are some articles that may interest you:<BR/> http://www.stemcellresearchfacts.com/commercials.html<BR/>http://edition.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/11/19/stem.cell.research/<BR/>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/<BR/>29243132/<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I talked your ear off, Yvonne. Also, I visited your website, and it's <I>great</I>!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><I>Cynde</I><BR/>http://cyndesdaybook.blogspot.com/Cynde L.
