Mr. Gunn: Did you read or watch this story? A remarkable percentage of practicing religious people support stem cell research. Are you so blind and fearful of viewpoints other than your own that you ignore the facts of the story about which you are making a comment? Why are you even watching/reading stories like these if you are so starkly offended by the idea of religion? A reminder — the series is called “RELIGION and Ethics Newsweekly.” Did the ambiguity of the title confuse you? Please stop wasting the time of thoughtful people by engaging material like this story with the sole purpose of antagonizing others and giving voice to your anger about religion. It was not the purpose of the article, of this website, or of this comment forum. If the reality of the world around you is so offensive and distasteful, perhaps you would like to have been one of the embryos destroyed for the sake of the research.

If we can just imagine the possibility that Stem Cell research could help so many.But we can find that history has shown that religion has,to this very day,tried to halt the advancement of medicine and science because of some ancient mythical beliefs.It would be a sad day if we left our health and welfare to prayer

Very well and completely reported. I’m disappointed personally that an incipient human life would be destroyed. The end does not justify the means ethically.
