I dunno.

Is potential life...life?

I dunno.

Is disposing of them, killing them?

I dunno.

And while this has the potential to do much good, it also has the potential to do much harm.

Allow me to divert the thread slightly. I said years ago when in vitro was young and cloning was starting, that this is a very slippery slope.

Again, the potential for much good exists. That potential will be abused and used for nefarious purposes. Especially when the world is so divided and war seems always to be one madmans's mistake away.

The biggest problem I have is the embryonic stem cell stuff that essentially creates life for spare parts. That again, while having the potential for much good, is in my opinion, very bad. It is not right in my opinion.

But, you cannot unring a bell. You cannot put the toothpaste back in the tube or the genie back in the bottle. Science, and mankind's quest for more Knowledge and power, will not stop.

Perhaps to man's ultimate end.

Am interested in hearing conservatives thoughts on this. - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 08:48:49

I'm not sure I qualify as conservative, but here's my take - o'lineydisciple MU - 1/15 11:12:28

I agree with that. The turning point for me, for the - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 13:01:20

lol the most exotic child support case ever. - justwinbaby KC - 1/15 10:30:48

Thanks for asking - JG A - 1/15 09:35:24

Agreed - Let her have them, if she chooses to bear children - tigerdb MU - 1/15 09:48:17

There is a good chance this guy has something most here miss - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:00:00

yup (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:05:18

So you are in favor of abortion- check - JG A - 1/15 10:04:07

No, because I do not equate these embryos mass produced in - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:11:39

And that "problem" is totally self-induced. Its equivalent - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:16:48

I see your problem here GaT, this is a moral issue. It is - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:24:23

Is there anyone here who is able to tell me what - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:46:41

How do you view letting the embryos just stay frozen - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:25:06

Until implanted I do not view them as human life so I feel - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:36:24

I can understand that , but its just an arbitrary - JG A - 1/15 10:44:45

Not arbitrary at all. Can that embryo gestate and become a - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 11:34:25

You must have contemplated when that embryo - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 14:35:04

RE: Not arbitrary at all. Can that embryo gestate and become a - JG A - 1/15 11:46:14

RE: I can understand that , but its just an arbitrary - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:50:19

That doesn't contradict what I said in the least - JG A - 1/15 11:09:46

You are not in favor of abortion but abortion is needed - JG A - 1/15 10:13:23

Since you struggle with reading comprehension I will try to - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:33:47

So you are confused and hypocritical and you think - JG A - 1/15 10:46:01

I am not confused you inbred imbecile. I am not in favor of - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 11:40:00

Correct. NOT seeing the other side is what makes - JG A - 1/15 11:47:13

you're an idiot (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:18:31

LOL yeah I'm the idiot - JG A - 1/15 10:20:33

Finally a post I can agree with from you (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:24:32

If one takes that point of view then why not go the next - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:08:42

thanks Spanky (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:05:32

So if both sides agree something should not be born - JG A - 1/15 10:09:03

False premise. Neither side intended for every embryo - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:19:26

I see you are unfamiliar with JG’s posting history. That is - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:37:50

Yes indeed JG takes all the information into account - JG A - 1/15 10:40:35

You've eliminated the FACT that not every embryo - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:49:47

Whats not intended is that all of them become born - JG A - 1/15 11:56:18

Each individual embryo was created to be born - JG A - 1/15 10:21:14

educate yourself - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:27:49

I'm not the one confused and hypocritical - JG A - 1/15 10:38:40

you're ignorant and now a liar, JG (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 11:03:08

it doesn't seem possible you can get more stupid daily - JG A - 1/15 11:08:52

No, and those which make it were intended for - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:26:09

^^^Best solution yet. I'm on board. - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:02:53

how convenient for her and awesome for the child. (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:57:15

May be best solution. I guess courts will decide. And - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:51:47

Now thats a well thought out answer boy - Uncle Fester USMC - 1/15 09:41:31

Yes he could grow up to be a terrosist criminal - JG A - 1/15 09:43:08

What makes you conclude that all of the embryos were - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:38:46

The takeaway point is this issue needs to be - JG A - 1/15 09:44:29

At this point, an issue almost exactly in the middle.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:47:08

I disagree completely. Do you think the embryos were create - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:52:43

I consider this a better approach. - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:05:15

GAT agrees both sides are right - JG A - 1/15 10:14:36

Yes, it is. Since I, as usual, look at the whole picture - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:20:40

LOL so GAT - JG A - 1/15 10:22:15

RE: LOL so GAT - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:50:11

Jesus man even I am embarrassed for you - JG A - 1/15 11:10:54

Ever notice you don't bother to actually refute the facts - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 11:14:21

I noticed you are hopelessly overmatched - JG A - 1/15 11:17:01

When they do this process the intention has never been for - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 09:42:46

which is why I asked JG to validate his (typical) assumption - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:47:36

I did -typically -nail the issue - JG A - 1/15 09:56:38

no, you made an assumption that all of the embryos - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:57:54

That was the intent -yes - JG A - 1/15 09:59:09

RE: That was the intent -yes - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:28:17

lol validate that, JG (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 10:06:31

They usually produce multiple embryos in hopes that - DHighlander NWMSU - 1/15 10:05:12

Which would seem to set some future precedent regarding - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:45:01

I saw this on REiDICULOUSNESS nm - yy4u MU - 1/15 09:26:02

Very interesting article, GAT. Thank you for posting. - ummmm MU - 1/15 09:16:37

Though a right to retake "some" of his property - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:39:17

such as what? - pickle MU

- 1/15 09:40:33

Given a lack of law I could go either way at this point.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:49:32

law isn't necessary here. - pickle MU

- 1/15 09:57:53

To me, it's extremely simple (without introducing legal - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:29:49

Sounds like one more thing to put in a pre-nup.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:40:25

not necessary and neither is marriage - pickle MU

- 1/15 09:41:37

But then, I assume you don't feel laws are necessary, since - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:48:24

That would be an ignorant and stupid assumption - pickle MU

- 1/15 09:59:02

The enforceable ones do. Unless its from the current - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 10:11:07

no, GAT. (nm) - pickle MU

- 1/15 10:57:31

tl;dr(nm) - Big-Dog MU - 1/15 09:05:11

then go somewhere there are conservatives - pickle MU

- 1/15 09:02:00

In a way that is connected.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:37:09

is dick darbin your hero nm - yy4u MU - 1/15 09:09:23

Slide the frozen embryos into the trash can (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:00:39

Here's what I go by - MUGuy2004 STL - 1/15 08:56:06

Good points, well made. For me, - hokie VT - 1/15 09:11:20

I followed you until the stem cell stuff. I think that - GA Tiger MU - 1/15 09:36:21

it's an embryo - don't I get told by Spanky and JeffB that - 90Tiger MU - 1/15 09:15:19
