Need responses to email... ref: stem cell research

[tamccrackine]

I sent many people in my address book the information regarding writing Pres. Bush about stem cell research. No biggie seeing how the majority of my family and friends are Catholic and/or pro-life and don’t have a problem with me sending this stuff.

Here is a response I received, from a Catholic too…

Here is a thought,

If in fact you cannot stop abortion, not necessarily a given, and Democrats are supporting the killing their own at an unbelievable rate, why not use their error in morals and judgement to further science to advance the cure of disease?

It is morally reprehensible but if, in this republic/not a democracy, the majority overhelm common sense why not benefit. A pragmatic approach but not totally without reason.

I’ve already dug up the info from the USCCB… but how would you respond? I’m trying to think of a logic comparison to his “pragmatic approach” but my brain is fried right now.

Thanks for your help!

At the Nuremberg War Criminal Trials in 1946, Dr Julius Hallervorden defended his medical experiments on Jews and other concentration camp inmates. “I heard that they were going to do that, so I went up to them and said: ‘Look here now boys, if you are going to kill all these people, at least take the brains out so that the material can be utilized.’”

Identical language was used by the U.S. National Institutes for Health in their October 1988 Draft Report of the Human Fetal Tissue Transplant Panel: “Inasmuch as it is cadaver tissue (from abortions) we are concerned with, and inasmuch as it would ordinarily be disposed of, and inasmuch as research on this tissue holds the promise of saving countless lives and alleviating the suffering of countless others, we find the use of such tissues acceptable.”
