Which is it? You contradict yourself. If embryos are created for an invitro procedure, but are not used and instead given over for research, are they not ultimately created for that research, b/c it is a fact that more embryos are created then are needed for invitro.

I also hear that there are other sources of stem cells out there. Those resources should be used as well. I understand that they can extract stem cells from the fat that is taken from liposuction.
Yes adult stem cells can be used but they are not (and I do not know why, but the research has been done) as good as embryonic stem cells

Also I have a soul. My belief in, and love of God will not allow me to think otherwise. Period. End of discussion. I will not ever argue that point!
If you are unwilling to argue it, then how strong of conviction can it really be
