Actually, Mojo...every Christian I've ever spoken to about Stem-Cell research was ONLY against it because the cells had to be gathered from fetus, thereby costing the lives of unborn children (Saving lives, perhaps...but the research was also costing them).

Seeing as the embryo/fetus was going to be killed anyway (assuming that IVF and abortions don't suddenly become criminalised) what's your problem with them being used for research instead of being chucked in the incinerator?

I don't really know much about Stem-Cell research, so could somebody tell me if it could cure Cancer? Or AIDS? (Well, probably not AIDS, but meh) 'cos if it could, then my views on Stem-Cell research become blurry.

Not really. Stem cells can only replace cells/body parts that have degenerated or died. Eg alzheimers killing brain cells or diabetes the pancreas. Cancer is more to do with too many cells somewhere. It may be possible to rebuild an immune system for someone with AIDS but I doubt it and in any case they'd have to be cured of HIV first otherwise there'd be no point.
