Life begins when????

It seems as if our friends from the "Christian" right are at it again. Apparently life begins with an embryo. For years we have be locked in an argument whether life begins at conception or when the fetus begins to form. Now it begins with the unfertilized egg.

I was watching thye Henry Rollins Show on IFC (how's that for supporting Independent film AND keeping music dangerous?). They had a section called IFC Soap Box where people state their views on a particular issue. This week was on Stem cell research. A GOP poster boy got and said destroying the unfertilized egg was murder. When did this happen?!?!?!? Oh yeah, when they put a guy in the White House who said the jury was still out on evolution!!

By this rationale, a woman commits murder when she has her period. Not only that, since only 1 sperm fertilizes an egg, every time a child is conceived there is murder. Everytime a guy masturbates he is committing murder. Boy, do I have a lot of explaining to do.

I guess since it has been proven that stem cell do not need to come from an aborted fetus, these assholes need something to bitch about.

Stem Cell research may or may not be the future of medicine, but to hamper these studies puts us futher back from knowing. Maybe because science can disprove the Adam and Eve story by unlocking the secrets we hold in our bodies. After all the world is only 6000 years old. Let me put it to you straight. Genesis is the story the acient Jews told their kids to explain how we got here. Nothing more. God has given us people who can advance how we do things and how we live. This is the gift. He placed these people here to advance mankind. Now those efforts are being thwarted. The Old Testament was written by people who knew God was mad at them. He sent his son here to live as one of us. To teach us about how much God loves and forgives us.

The only people who have forgotten that are the "Christian""right".
'til next time,
