No moral qualms? Is an embryo really just a cluster of cells? Were you once a bundle of cells? I was. Plus, the idea that it is morally righteous to kill in the sake of saving (potentially) here is revolting. Now what would one do with the cells once they harvested them? In a recent study, people given stem cells taken from embryos had horrible after effects. Case in point: Alzheimer's patients were given stem cells from embryos to get certain chemical giving cells and they were left worse off before, convolsing disabled wrecks of their former selves. The cells simply worked too fast for their own good and mentally and physically crippled the patients. Isn't it true that a scientist can much easier get non disabling stem cells from adults,placentas, and umbilical cords. I don't think it is right to clone simply for the slight chance of medical benefit. Face it:Nobody knows crud about how to use stem cells without potentially damaging people. Shouldn't we just leave the creating to the one who did the creating in the first place? I'm reminded of a joke. A scientist walks up to God and says,"God, you are now obsolete. We can create life through science and make just about anything else for that matter. In fact I can create a man with DIRT!" "Okay, says God," Let's have us an' old fashioned man making contest. First one to do it wins." The scientist stoops down to get some soil and God says"Not so fast buster, get your own supplies!"
