Suppose we say that the fertilized egg is life. In my view Life=Life. I do not judge one more 'true' than another. Do you value lives differently, then? Is a five year old child's life worth more or less than a 50 year old's life? I don't mean for this to sound antagonistic, Moridin! I'm just not comfortable with the implications. I am assuming you don't think life begins at conception/fertilization so my question may be moot.

Sometimes this research is contradictory to one's beliefs, but would you still have the same objections if it was your life being saved by this stem cell research?
Yes. I would and do.
