I am grieved. Can't believe it.
We can shout all we like about how it's for research for Parkins etc.
I lost my Grandfather to Parkinsons. My other Grandfather had Alzheimers when he died. I am aware of how important finding cures for these are.
Nothing justifies stem cell research though.
Nazi scientists wanted to kill people for advancing medical science. Is that moral? It's a never ending conundrum. Do you sacrifice some NOW for the benefit of others in the future. Lesser of two evils I say. Never destroy a life.
I even take issue with animal experimentation. Rats. Mice. Rabbits. A good friend of mine is a biologist who works on rats and mice to find new medical breakthroughs. Doesn't justify it in my book, though they obviously disagree.
Research may be slower without, but then.... ah whatever.
I'm still grieved by the English decision.
