expressed from a Catholic point of view is well know. They come down hard on Embryonic Stem Cell Research in any form. The catholic view is not necessarily the view held by the wider community with a good 60 percent of Americans in favour of research using discarded embryos thrown out from the thousands of abortions that occur globally every day.

Some of the questions are loaded and reek of Frankenstein technology, when we know science today is not still stuck in the stone ages as religion would have us believe. Science today is accountable and transparent and cannot afford to be anything else but honest and open in everything they achieve. The recent exposure of the Korean scientist Hwang attests to that. Attention to detail, constant testing and measuring, will advance science into the stratosphere of success.

As with the Democrats, England, Israel, Korea, Singapore, and others, the need to carry on valued research in Embryonic Stem Cell Research is gathering momentum. Public opinion has swung clearly in favour of research using discarded embryos, just what form that takes remains to be seen. Keep valued research in the hands of science and not in the hands of religious or political commentators.
