BreakPoint | Useful Barbarism

The "barbarism" that Chuck Colson decries is the deliberate creation of human embryos that are then destined for destruction for no better purpose than the harvesting of their stem cells.

People think, first of all, that these embryos aren't even human. Wrong! Check out this article about a recent White House party for twenty-one former "leftovers" who, through "Operation Snowflake", were "adopted" by loving couples. The embryos, when implanted, grew into the twenty-one very lively children who were the President's guests of honor.

Those same goofy scientists also say that adult stem cells aren't as versatile as embryonic stem cells. Wrong again! At Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, according to WorldNetDaily, they're getting adult stem cells to transform into just about any kind of cell that an embryonic stem cell can make--and without the host-versus-graft or graft-versus-host reactions commonly seen with ESC's.

Let all those ESC proponents face the music right now: they are running out of arguments. Grantors everywhere should get it through their thick heads that some people are taking them to the cleaners, and put a stop to it. Now. Today. Before we slide even further to barbarism to no good purpose.
