Stem cell research does NOT require that an embryo die.
But this is where it is controversal to me and for most people..

"And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all you strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." (Luke 10: 25-28)1 I don't already have eternal life? 2 I really want eternal life?

"Truly , truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God " (John 3: 5) "After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there He remained with them and baptized" (John 3:22) "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him." (John 3: 36)
"Do you suppose, then, that you will escape judgment, you who condemn these things in others yet do them yourselves? . . . Do you not know that God's kindness [and forbearance] is an invitation to you to repent? In spite of this, your hard and impenitent heart is storing up retribution for the day of wrath when the just judgment of God will be revealed, when he will repay every man for what he has done: eternal life to those who strive for glory, honor, and immortality by patiently doing right; wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness."
(Romans 2: 3-10)

Hell yes, I agree ! I do not object to what you are stating... I think that should be mandatory on the disposal basis !

Well the idea is to save lives not take them so I think it is a good thing also.. We also have the knowledge that God gave us to benefit our lives here on earth so why should it be a religious problem ? That just my thoughts about it. :cof:

Here is my feelings on the issue for what it is worth... I feel strongly that abortion is WRONG ! I also believe that if the law insist on making this proceedure legal why should we give little to no respect to the unborn ?
Since abortion is legal why not bring some good of this situation .. At least a trial bases to see the good that could come of stem cell.. So if abortion is Legal to end a life, why should it be illegal to save one ?

The point that you bring up is that if the law allows something immoral, it is ok to do something immoral in return to get good out of it.
The point is that if abortion is looked at as a way to harvest these cells --IN ANY WAY, it will keep abortion legal.
The only moral thing to do in the case of having alternative options available is to USE THE ALTERNATIVES.
-Otherwise you are perpetuating the problem instead of solving it.

NG I have thought about that ... What if the law is overturned but what are the chances of that? Of course I believe abortion is wrong and immoral but it is like I stated earlier I would like some good come of a situation that the Liberals themselves will never end !

Ok let me clarify myself I believe that the abortion decision should be left to the citizens of the country to vote on.. My vote would be NO abortion therefore the stem cell problem would be solved on the unborn side ! I would rather have the procedure illegal and we would not have the option of aborted fetuses for stem cell... At this point it is legal and I would like to see some good come of this horrible act !
Too many people consider themselves wiser the G-d and pronounce that they alone know when the living soul or life comes to that dust which is being used to create an eventual being.

Right. Let's take a look at what God says in the bible, shall we?
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before
thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I
ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5
(KJV)
"I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from
my mother's belly." (Psalms 22:10 KJV)
"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my
mother's womb." (Psalms 139:13 KJV)
"Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from
that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that
thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called
a transgressor from the womb." (Isaiah 48:8 KJV)
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far;
The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the
bowels (insides) of my mother hath he made mention of
my name." (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
"He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his
strength he had power with God:" (Hosea 12:3 KJV)
"For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be
filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."
(Luke 1:15 KJV)
"And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and
Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:" (Luke 1:41 KJV)
"For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy." (Luke 1:44 KJV)
So we can see from Scripture that a separate, unique human life exists in the womb, before birth. Also, if we consult science on this question, we find unanimous agreement that the baby is alive before birth. It does not miraculously spring to life just as it is born.
During earliest pregnancy, before the first heartbeat, there is no flesh, just cells. There is no blood, just clear cellular fluid. But there is life. There are cells, and the cells are alive. Are these the cells of the mother? No. Their DNA is not hers. Are they the cells of the father? No. Their DNA is not his. They have their own unique cellular identity, apart from either the mother or the father.
So this, then, is the moment at which life begins: the moment of conception, when the father's cell and the mother's cell unite to form a distict new cell, different from both father and mother.
Genesis 2:7
And the L-RD G-d formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and (only then) man became a living soul.
