    Does it do more dignity to the embryo to toss it into a trashbin rather than to use it to save lifes? Does it value life more to vaste the life saving potential of a (in your oppinion) life lost?

    Using the embryo for stem cell research is comparable in my mind to donating organs after death. No one is going to miss my kidney when I am dead and no one is going to miss the embryos stem cells.

    The net effect is that no child is born, doesnt matter if we use the embryo or not.

    In my mind we show life respect if we use the embryo to save other lifes rather than simply discard it because of what it has the potential to become but never will.

    The underlying social problem is that this mentality makes life, however you wish to define it, less important. "The problem with this slippery slope is that it is so damn slippery."
