So, I was watching Inside Edition or something close to that name last
night with my wife and they were talking about Christopher Reeve and
his death yesterday.  Truly the man and his family proved resolve
stronger than anything seen on the screen.  Who we truly are is
reflected in what we are like when placed under pressure.

The part that bothered me was the linkage of him and stem cell
research.  Yes, he was an advocate of it.  Yes, I believe he supported
embryonic stem cell research, which I do not.  The part that bothered
me was Inside Edition’s poll question: “Do you support stem cell
research?”  The answer to that question, for me, is yes– just not
embryonic!  It’s a misleading question.

There have been some good discoveries using adult
stem cells, and that research should continue, but destroying human
life for research is as wrong as destroying human life to eat– ie. the
cannibals that have recently been in the news.  They don’t see anything
wrong in killing another human because they like the taste.  I’m sorry
for the grossness of this analogy, but we have become so desensitized
to what’s going on with the killing of babies in abortion, and we are
constantly asked to look at those in pain rather than the one being
killed, that we need to be awakened to what’s going on here in the name
of science!
