I can only add that I feel the same way as Radioguy - and he writes much more eloquently than I would on the topic.

However, I must say that I don't understand how In-vitro fertilization can be supported - where many many excess cells are created - but the use of the unused cells for embryonic stem cell research is not supported.

Why is it ok to create excess embryos and then destroy the ones not used? Why is cell destruction ok but cell donation for research not ok? Just rhetorical questions.

(This is not directed at anyone on this board!) Just my thoughts in general.
