Lunatics. All of them.
So Focus on the Family, a political group headquartered out of Colorado Springs, has issued a statement about the recent South Korean research on stem cells, describing it as "nothing short of cannibalism." (
news story)
(1) I am, once again, embarassed to be from the same state as these idiots.
(2) It's a fscking
blastocyst. The South Korean group has found a way to manufacture a large volume of cells from any donor starting from cells from that donor. It uses a denucleated egg cell from another donor as a component. I fail to see the moral difference between this and taking a skin scraping and culturing it in a petri dish.
(3) "Nothing short of cannibalism" sounds like an excellent motto.
I think "Nothing short of cannibalism" would be best as...
...a name for a punk band.
3(12.5%)
...a campaign slogan.
10(41.7%)
...a dinner order.
7(29.2%)
Footnote: I suppose this is a good place to quote Dr. Keuntz from
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death:
This is war! The battle between the sexes! Anything short of cannibalism is just beating around the bush!
