text: I have heard that there are other means for obtaining stem cells without taking them from fetus's. They need to concentrate their research on doing that instead of killing something. In other words the ends do not justify the means. Think about it this way, if they abort a child how do we know if that kid isn't going to grow up someday to develop a cure for cancer or HIV. Another thing that I don't understand is the same people who agree with abortions and fetal stem cell research are the same ones who cry everytime they use a monkey for medical research. So I guess they thinks its ok to kill a human being, but not an animal. That is very twisted.\nMy advice to you is get informed on the whole thing including the technical aspects and where they are with their research and then form your own opinion.
